The WARA Post-Doctoral Fellowship provides funding for 2 to 3 month’s research in West Africa during the summer and is for the purpose of 1) completing or elaborating upon an earlier project; 2) initiating a new research project; or 3) enhancing understanding of a particular topic in order to improve teaching effectiveness or broaden course offerings. This competition is open to U.S. citizens already holding a Ph.D. who are currently affiliated with an academic institution or who work in another related domain. Each fellowship will provide round trip travel to a West African country not exceeding $2,500 and a stipend of up to $3,500.
