Practitioner Fellows
Practitioner Fellowships are designed to provide a non-degree opportunity for qualified middle-level individuals from NGOs with a chance to conduct approved six-month intensive applied research projects in conservation and sustainability under the mentoring of an expert in that field of study. The majority of the mentoring will be done remotely as Fellows will work from their home organizations. Fellows will be required, however, to attend an orientation at the Sustainability Institute at the beginning of the research period. Read more..
