Program Description
In 2008, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) created an International Affairs Fellowship (IAF) in India program with the first year sponsored by E.L. Rothschild through the ERANDA Foundation. Modeled after CFR's successful IAF in Japan established over a decade ago, the IAF in India enables several outstanding young leaders to expand their professional horizons and enhance their understanding of India by spending up to a year on policy oriented research or related professional activity in India.
CFR offers a number of these grants to candidates between the ages of 27 and 45 (inclusive) drawn from academia (including think tanks), government institutions (including the executive and legislative branches at the federal, state, and local levels), the business community, the media, and religious and congregational communities. The fellowships will be awarded on the basis of their academic and professional accomplishments and promise, and on the merits of the specific research or action projects that they propose for their stays in India.
The basic term of the fellowship is one year, with a minimum of three months to pursue a program of the fellows' own design consisting of policy oriented research or related professional activity. The fellowship will cover living expenses in India plus international transportation and necessary research expenses.
