FELLOWSHIP- NED Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program for 2006-2007

Fellowships at the National Endowment for Democracy

Application Deadline: November 1, 2005

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) welcomes applications to its
Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program for the 2006-2007 fellowship year.
Established in 2001 to enable activists, scholars, and journalists from around
the world to deepen their understanding of democracy and enhance their ability
to promote democratic change, the fellowship program is based at NED's
International Forum for Democratic Studies, in Washington, D.C.

Program:

The program offers two tracks: a practitioner track (typically three to five
months) to improve strategies and techniques for building democracy abroad,
and a scholarly track (typically five to ten months) to conduct original
research for publication. Projects may focus on the political, social,
economic, legal, and cultural aspects of democratic development and include a
range of methodologies and approaches.

Eligibility:

The Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program is intended primarily to support
practitioners and scholars from new and aspiring democracies. Distinguished
scholars from the United States and other established democracies are also
eligible to apply. Practitioners are expected to have substantial experience
working to promote democracy. Scholars are expected to have a doctorate, or
academic equivalent, at the time of application. The program is not designed to
defray the cost of education for students working toward a degree. A working
knowledge of English is an important prerequisite for participation in the
program.

Support:

The fellowship year begins October 1 and runs through July 31, with major entry
dates in October and March. All fellows receive a monthly stipend, health
insurance, travel assistance, and research support Forumâ&#65533;(tm)s Democracy
Resource Center and Reagan-Fascell Research Consultancy Program.
