Practitioner Fellowships provide a non-degree opportunity for qualified middle-level professionals from NGOs (and in some cases, government) to conduct approved six- to twelve-month intensive applied research projects in conservation and sustainability. Fellows work from their home organizations and are mentored by an expert from one of the program’s Sustainability Institutes. The Alcoa Foundation supports each fellow with a substantial stipend plus funding for bi-annual meetings of the fellows.
The scope of the program is broad and approved topics fall within the areas of climate change and energy, conservation of fragile ecosystems, sustainable livelihoods and economic growth, and integrating sustainability into public policy and governance. Other Sustainability Institutes involved in the Fellowship are WWF-USA and Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) in Mexico. Please refer to the website for specific topics and application instructions.
