Are you working to ensure digital technology supports the rights and aspirations of ALL people? Apply to our Fellows Program!
The Digital Impact Alliance Fellowship Program provides an opportunity for curious, passionate mid-career researchers and practitioners to explore frontier questions related to digital public infrastructure (DPI) and data governance.
Fellows are invited to bring their own knowledge and research agenda to the Fellowship while contributing to our goals of improving the design, deployment, and governance of foundational digital systems, services, and data sharing innovations. We are eager to support work aligned with our core thematic priorities: 1) creating more value for more people from data; 2) understanding the ways in which digital systems and services impact people, including and especially the most marginalized; and 3) accelerating the adoption of data sharing and governance practices that fuel innovation and empower people.
Our Fellows complete their research over 6-8 months and are supported with a stipend of $5,000 USD. We encourage applications from passionate professionals from academia, the private sector, and civil society organizations.
