APDD Fellowships: Individual Research, Research Policy, and Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships

About this program

APDD offers a suite of fellowships and capacity‑building activities supporting research on peacebuilding, developmental dynamics, and state–society relations in Africa, including an Individual Research Fellowship (up to nine months), a Research Policy Fellowship (up to six months), and a three‑stage Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship sequence (proposal 6 months, research 12 months, completion up to 12 months). The IRF funds early‑ to mid‑career scholars or practitioners for field‑based research and writing; the RPF is for former APN Individual Research Fellows (award received no earlier than June 2021) to affiliate with policy or practitioner organizations; and the doctoral fellowships are for African doctoral students enrolled in universities in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, or Uganda. No award amounts, application deadlines, or contact details are provided in the source; applicants should consult APDD for full application procedures and funding levels.
