About the Research Fellowship
The CBPS Research Fellowship commenced last year as we celebrated our 25th year anniversary. The fellowship aims to help scholars develop research skills in the areas of education, gender, governance, health & nutrition, public finance, livelihoods, and social security.
The fellows will work in the CBPS office located in Bengaluru and will work with our research staff to gain valuable experience, support, and learnings in a collegial and academically rigorous environment, which includes in-house talks, seminars, as well as other public events. With the help of a mentor, the fellowship will allow scholars to be part of ongoing research projects in an area of interest to the scholar.
The fellowship includes:
- Opportunities to work with professionals in research and public policy
- A monthly stipend of Rs. 25,000
- Access to CBPS library, in-house workshops, and talks
- Field visit opportunities (related to projects)
- Opportunities to publish
The fellowship does not provide funds for housing, transportation, or any other financial support.
