Research Innovation & Collaboration Exchange - East-West Center

Organizer: East-West Center

Description:

The East-West Center (EWC) will provide RICE Fellowships for scholars, policy experts, non-government organization / civil society organization (NGO/CSO) members, researchers, or journalists from the Indo-Pacific Region, including the United States, to undertake research or other projects on topics related to the domestic/international governance, environmental issues, political economy issues around trade, technology and integration, and geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific. RICE Fellowships must begin by September 30, 2023.

RICE Fellows will undertake research or other projects at the EWC in the Honolulu or Washington, DC offices. The length of the RICE Fellowship will be based on the project as will the associated stipend, support, and travel funding. In some cases, a recipient may be permitted to work at another location, provided sufficient project-relevant justification is presented.  During the Fellowship terms, participants will pursue their project interests both independently and in collaboration with EWC researchers who will provide guidance on research resources, access, and other relevant information, and will also assist the RICE Fellow in residence at EWC Honolulu or DC locations. Emphasis for selection will be toward proposed collaborations and exchanges which create or strengthen networks, partnerships, and shared outcomes. All project outcomes (e.g., EWC/Co-Branded publications, reports, videos, websites, databases, etc) will be co-branded between EWC and the applicantʻs home institution, and preference will be given to outcomes which are sustainable.  RICE Fellowships include a monthly stipend and travel expenses depending upon the project proposed.

Applications due by: May 31, 2023
