-
 
+
-
-- OBJECTIVES: The program offers two tracks, a practitioner track and a scholarly track:
+
-
 
+
-
The Practitioner Track - The Reagan-Fascell program was established primarily to support democratic activists, human rights advocates, journalists, and others who work on the front lines of democracy promotion in emerging and aspiring democracies. The program seeks to provide experienced activists with an opportunity to reflect on their work, learn from counterparts in the United States, and reevaluate techniques for building democracy in their country of origin. Fellowships on the practitioner track tend to be short-term (5 months), typically culminating in a strategy memorandum, short article or op-ed and a presentation of the fellow�s analysis and ideas.
+
-
+
-
The Scholarly Track - Recognizing the importance of intellectual contributions to the theory and practice of democracy, the Reagan-Fascell program offers a scholarly track principally for professors and researchers from emerging and aspiring democracies. Accomplished scholars from established democracies are also eligible to apply. Applicants are expected to possess a Ph.D., or academic equivalent, at the time of application, and to have developed a rigorous research outline. During their stay at the Forum, which can range from 5 to 10 months, scholars make at least one presentation and complete a substantial piece of writing (a monograph or book) for publication.
+
-
 
+
-
-- ELIGIBILITY:
+
-
 
+
-
Practitioner Track: While there are no specific degree requirements for applicants selecting the practitioner track, candidates interested in this track are expected to have substantial practical experience working on behalf of some aspect of democracy building�such as human rights advocacy, political party activism, voter education, election monitoring, journalism and press freedom, ethnic pluralism, civic education, etc.
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
Scholarly Track: Individuals interested in the scholarly track are expected to possess a Ph.D. or academic equivalent at the time of
+
-
application, to have published in their field of expertise, and to have developed a detailed research outline for their fellowship
+
-
project. While the scholarly track is intended primarily for accomplished or promising scholars from new and emerging democracies,
+
-
distinguished scholars from the United States and other established democracies are also eligible to apply. Examples of eligible
+
-
candidates for the scholarly track include college and university professors, scholars, analysts at research centers and �think tanks,� and independent writers.
+
-
 
+
-
-- FUNDING: The sponsor hosts 16 to 20 Reagan-Fascell fellows per year for periods ranging from five to ten months.
