Fellowships

Over the 2017-2021 period, the Center will explore opportunities to systemize these programs and expand their regional reach. Most of the doctoral interns at APHRC often come from northern universities with resources to support short-term placements. How to provide similar opportunities for students at less well-resourced African institutions will be a primary objective for the RCS Division. We will draw on existing relationships to develop new opportunities for co-hosting and mentorship of postdoctoral fellows, and explore opportunities to create new fellowship programs to support young Africans with undergraduate training to cultivate their interest in research careers, and sabbatical fellowships and faculty exchanges among African universities to increase local and regional research collaboration.
