Research Fellowship for Writers and Media Professionals
ITP invites applications for 1 – 6 month research fellowships / sabbaticals for writers and media professionals. The idea behind the fellowship is to offer an opportunity to media fellows to take up a theme / topic of mutual interest and undertake an academic-cum-journalistic inquiry with the objective of producing a policy relevant output. The chosen research problem / topic – to be finalized in consultation with ITP – will be policy / action oriented and fit within ITP’s broad mandate.
While in Anand, ITP will offer the fellows reasonable accommodation and a modest living allowance of ₹25,000 per month for out-of-pocket expenses. ITP will also offer II AC train fare between the fellows’ home base and Anand. In addition, the program will cover all costs related to the fellows’ research including local travel, fieldwork and data collection costs.
