Fellows and Research	Fellowship Selection Committee

The CRRC Fellowship Program was launched in 2004 to support outstanding researchers in the South Caucasus interested in pursuing original policy-oriented research. CRRC has given out grants to fellows to analyze policy relevant issues in economics, sociology, demography and other social science related fields. Fellows often use data gathered under the CRRC Data Initiative as well as new and existing data sources to complete their research. Grantees are selected through a competitive process of both peer review and a selection committee of leading practitioners and researchers.

In 2007, a series of new and innovative changes were made to the Fellowship Program. With great success, the Fellowship Program was brought online. Now fellows use an exciting online learning platform called Moodle (you can log it in as a "guest") to increase their application skills before they apply. Moodle also provides an interactive environment for applicants to communicate with each other and CRRC staff during the application process, which has significantly improved the quality of applications.

Selected fellows for 2008 will participate in series of trainings facilitated by Moodle. Fellows are also now required to submit their publications to a peer-reviewed journal in the English language, which CRRC sees as important in integrating the Caucasus into global academic dialogue and discourse.
