NRI Fellowships

NRI post-doctoral fellowships are nine to twelve month programs for recent graduates and doctoral students engaged in dissertation research interested in U.S. domestic public policy research. While in Washington, NRI fellows are immersed in a rich public policy environment. The program exposes them to a breadth of scholarship within AEI, as well as at other D.C. institutions engaged in policy debate.
