Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program
The Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP) is a scholar fellowship program for educational projects at African higher education institutions. Offered by IIE, the program is funded by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY). Since its inception in 2013, a total of 705 African Diaspora Fellowships have been awarded, enabling scholars to travel to Africa. CADFP exemplifies CCNY’s enduring commitment to higher education in Africa. IIE manages and administers the program, including applications, project requests, and fellowships.
The CADFP application cycle for Project Requests will open on July 15, 2024, and close on September 18, 2024.
Applying to the CADFP
The Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP) is a fellowship program for African institutions in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and member institutions of the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and partner universities with the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA). These institutions can host an African-born scholar to work on projects in research collaboration, graduate student teaching/mentoring, and curriculum co-development. The application process has two parts.
Hosts
Accredited African universities in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and member institutions of ARUA and partner universities with CARTA can submit a project request to host an African-born scholar currently living in the United States or Canada. The scholar will work on projects in research collaboration, graduate student teaching/mentoring, and curriculum co-development. The host institution can either collaborate with a specific scholar on the project request or submit without naming a scholar. If the host submits without naming a scholar, IIE will search their roster of qualified candidates to match the request.
Scholars
African-born academics currently living in the United States or Canada and working at institutions of higher education can submit a Scholar Application to the Scholar Roster. Scholars can work with a specific host institution on a Project Request or remain on the roster until a project that fits their expertise is submitted by an African host institution.
Deadline : september 18, 2024
