1. STRENGTHEN FAMILIARITY
To strengthen familiarity and confidence in mining CLA data for new insights;
The PAL Network is pleased to announce the launch of a new Research Fellowship Program, providing the opportunity for up to four talented staff within the network to develop their research skills through an intensive four-month placement based at the network Secretariat office in Nairobi, Kenya.
Fellows will expand their familiarity and understanding of citizen-led assessment data (‘CLA’) by undertaking an independent research study to produce new insights from existing data.
To strengthen familiarity and confidence in mining CLA data for new insights;
To promote research collaboration and peer-supported learning between fellows that will continue once the fellows return to their home institutions;
To produce and publish new insights from across the network through a Working Paper Series;
To enable visiting fellows to obtain insight into the functioning of the network through close collaboration with a cohort of research fellows from other network countries;
To unite the efforts of citizen-led assessments for greater global influence;
The selected Fellows will be expected to design an independent research study that will produce new insights from existing data from across the PAL Network.
Applications for the 2017 Fellowship Program open on 24th July and close on 27th August.
Fellows will participate in, and contribute to, a program of training and support throughout the fellowship program.
