Program Description
In 2008, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) launched the International Affairs Fellowship (IAF) in India. The first year was sponsored by E.L. Rothschild through the ERANDA Foundation. Modeled after CFR's successful IAF in Japan, 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.
The program is open to candidates between the ages of 27 and 45 who come from academia (including think tanks), government (including the executive and legislative branches at the federal, state, and local levels), the business community, the media, and religious and congregational communities. The fellowship will be awarded on the basis of academic and professional accomplishments and promise, and on the merits of the proposed research or action projects.
The 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.
The program is currently on hold.
