The Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program at the Washington, D.C.-based National Endowment for Democracy invites applications for fellowships in 2012-2013. The program enables democracy activists, practitioners, scholars, and journalists from around the world to deepen their understanding of democracy and enhance their ability to promote democratic change. Dedicated to international exchange, this five-month, residential program offers a collegial environment for fellows to reflect on their experiences; consider best practices and lessons learned; conduct independent research and writing; engage with counterparts; and develop professional relationships within a global network of democracy advocates.

The program is intended primarily to support practitioners, scholars, and journalists from developing and aspiring democracies; distinguished scholars from established democracies may also apply. A working knowledge of English is required. All fellows receive a monthly fellowship payment, health insurance, travel assistance at the beginning and end of their fellowship, and research support. The program does not fund professional training, fieldwork, or students working towards a degree.

The program will host two five-month fellowship sessions in 2012-2013: Fall 2012 (October 1, 2012-February 28, 2013), and Spring 2013 (March 1-July 31, 2013).

Deadline: Tuesday, November 1, 2011. For more information and application instructions, visit www.ned.org/fellowships/reagan-fascell-democracy-fellows-program.
