Robin Copeland Memorial Fellowship Program

About this program

CRDF Global’s Robin Copeland Memorial Fellowship strengthens technical capacity and leadership among early- to mid-career women professionals in CBRN security and nonproliferation through tailored trainings, sustained mentorship, regional networks, study tours, and capstone research. The program builds a global alumni network across the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and other regions, and offers practical experience, policy and technical coursework, and presentation opportunities at international forums. Applicants should be early- to mid-career practitioners or researchers—particularly women—actively working in CBRN security or nonproliferation and from regions with limited access to advanced training. Selected fellows are expected to engage in mentorship, complete a capstone project, and participate in program trainings and regional activities.
