The International Affairs Fellowship offers a 12-month stipend-supported opportunity for mid-career professionals to gain new perspectives on U.S. foreign policy and national security. Fellows engage in research and policy work in a setting different from their current roles, fostering scholar-practitioner development. The program awards $120,000 plus travel funds and prioritizes candidates with strong foreign policy backgrounds and limited prior government experience.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens, mid-career professionals with a strong record in foreign policy, hold at least a bachelor's degree, and not have applied for another CFR fellowship in the same year.
