Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague


Application Deadline: March 6, 2013 

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is offering two full-time Impact Evaluation and Research Fellowships under the Democracy Fellows and Grants Program (DFG), managed by the Institute of International Education (IIE) and funded by USAID’s Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG Center) in the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA). Full-time Democracy Fellows are hired as salaried IIE staff with benefits.

With over $2 billion in USAID funding dedicated annually to programs to improve democracy, human rights, and governance in over 80 countries, there is a great need to invest in enhanced research to improve—and evaluation to assess—the effectiveness of these programs. The two Democracy Fellows will work with the DRG Center’s Learning Team to apply rigorous research methods to promote evidence-based design of, and modifications to, DRG programs. For more information about this position, please go to the program website

USAID Democracy Fellows and Grants Program (DFG)
The DFG program is designed 1) to develop a pool of committed professionals at the junior, mid-, and senior levels; 2) to strengthen relations between USAID and academic, think tank, and research organizations; and 3) to promote research and innovative solutions to DRG programs.

The program will offer two types of opportunities to engage experts, students, and academic institutions in supporting USAID programming and policy: 1) fellowships to junior, mid-level, and senior DRG professionals and 2) grants to academic or research institutions working in the DRG fields (still under development, with more information available on the DFG site in the near future).
