Number: 210700040 Brief Description: The Open Society Institute has announced a new fellowship program to enable outstanding individuals from around the world to pursue projects that will inspire meaningful debate and shape public policy. The Open Society Fellowship is designed to enable innovative professionals — including journalists, activists, academics, and practitioners — to work on projects focused on four themes: National Security and the Open Society; Citizenship, Membership, and Marginalization; Strategies and Tools for Advocacy and Citizen Engagement; and Understanding Authoritarianism. OSI supports a limited number of fellows whose projects are germane to its mission but fall outside the four focus categories. In particular, OSI welcomes applicants who will work on areas of emerging interest to OSI, especially global warming and post-conflict environments. Fellows' projects may include books, articles, documentary films, online media, and efforts to seed new campaigns and organizations. OSI seeks fellows who will engage with its staff and inform its thinking. Proposed Funding : The Open Society Fellowship will award a total of $2 million in 2008. OSI will provide fellows with competitive stipends and communications assistance, and will integrate them into its networks of partners and grantees. Most fellowships will be awarded for one year.
