major components of the Next Generation Fellowship are: Publication- A

signature element of the program is the completion by the fellow of at
 +
least one journal-quality article that could be published by either
 +
NBR or an outside scholarly journal.  Bridging the gap between
 +
research and policy- the sponsor believes that writing alone is not

adequate to inform policy, the fellow will also participate in NBR’s
 +
active outreach toward the policy community in Washington, D.C.,
 +
through participation in conferences, briefings, and private meetings.
 +
Gaining in-depth knowledge of U.S. foreign policymaking- Fellows will
 +
engage the policymaking community through association with current and
 +
former U.S. government officials on the program’s advisory board, the
 +
program orientation, the Leadership Forum, and briefings to
 +
policymakers.  Guidance and mentoring- The Next Generation fellows
 +
will be incorporated directly into NBR’s substantive policy research
 +
projects. Responsible to and guided by the relevant project director,
 +
the fellows will be embedded in the workings of an organization that
 +
expresses in daily practice the high ideals of the fellowship’s goals.
 +
 
 +
As part of the fellowship, each new class of fellows will
 +
participate in an orientation in Washington, D.C., which includes
 +
meetings with government officials, members of Congress and their
 +
staffs, and senior academics who have themselves successfully bridged
 +
the scholarship-policy gap. The Next Generation orientation session
 +
immerses the fellows in the program’s vision, allowing them to meet
 +
with American political and academic leaders and providing
 +
opportunities for them to discuss their research with representatives
 +
of their intended audiences.   The sponsor conducts advanced
 +
research on politics and security, economics and trade, and health and
 +
societal issues, with emphasis on those of interest to the United
 +
States. Drawing upon an extensive network of the world’s leading
 +
specialists and leveraging the latest technology, the sponsor bridges
 +
the academic, business, and policy arenas. At any given time, the
 +
sponsor directs twenty to thirty major research projects involving 150
 +
scholars at universities and research centers worldwide. Each fellow
 +
will be placed on projects that best match his/her qualifications and
 +
research interests. Research is organized around three broad topics:
 +
politics and security, economics and trade, and societies and
 +
health.
