The International Policy Fellowships (IPF) program is calling for applications for 2006-2007 Fellowships. Launched in 1998 and affiliated with the Open Society Institute and the Center for Policy Studies (CPS) of the Central European University in Budapest, these fellowships support analytical policy research in pursuance of open society goals such as the rule of law, democratic elections, diverse and vigorous civil societies, and respect for minorities. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The IPF program seeks to enhance the quality of policy research in the countries where the Soros Network operates, throughout Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Mongolia, as well as countries in South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Applicants are encouraged to submit individual, practical and policy-oriented research proposals. The general framework for 2006-2007 Fellowships is "New Frontiers of Democratic Politics." For a complete list of issue areas, see www.soros.org/initiatives/ipf.
All applications must be submitted online by the extended deadline of 10 October 2005. Those who cannot apply online should e-mail [email protected] to discuss alternate application solutions.
