The North American and Arctic Defence and Security Network Fellowship (NAADSN) supports five graduate student research assistants each year to conduct policy-relevant research on contemporary defense and security topics. To facilitate their intellectual growth and professional training, fellows will be exposed to advanced research techniques, methods, and theories from various disciplines in a mutually-supportive team setting. The program prepares fellows for subsequent careers in the Canadian Armed Forces, public service, private sector, or not-for-profit sectors.
