The CDRI Fellowship Programme was launched in September 2020 with a vision to develop a multi-disciplinary pool of professionals who will help shape a resilient future for global infrastructure systems. With a 12-month seed grant of US$ 15,000, the Fellowship provides financial support as well as peer learning and capacity development opportunities to foster transformative, actionable, and scalable solutions for real-world issues related to disaster resilience of infrastructure. The Fellowship is open to all nationals/citizens of the Coalition’s Member Countries. Winning proposals are selected through a rigorous multi-tiered review system including double-blind peer reviews and final selection by a five-member International Jury. As of date, there are three Cohorts of Fellows.
