Deadline: 2 Nov
Eligibility: United States of America
Description:
Established in 1967, the International Affairs Fellowship (IAF) aims to bridge the gap between the study and making of U.S. foreign policy by creating the next generation of scholar-practitioners. This transformational program offers fellows the chance to experience a new environment and gain a different perspective at a pivotal moment in their careers. The IAF program's more than 650 alumni constitute a who's who of the U.S. foreign policy community, including a former secretary of state, several undersecretaries of state and defense, ambassadors, and many other influential leaders in government, academia, and the private sector. IAFs coming out of academia or the private sector work in the U.S. government or at an international organization. IAFs coming out of government work at the Council's offices in New York or Washington, DC, where they contribute to ongoing projects at CFR by researching and writing on policy-relevant issues. For those applicants coming out of government, CFR is especially interested in proposals that will contribute to its RealEcon Initiative, China Strategy Initiative, technology, and climate initiatives.
