Global Research Fellowship

Drawing upon the deep contextual understanding of the Fletcher student body, the Global Research Fellowship (GRF) provides a unique opportunity for students to conduct immersive on-the-ground research across the globe. Current Fletcher students leverage their knowledge, commitment, and creativity to engage in original research and analysis aimed at creating new market insights in emerging and frontier markets across the globe. Created in 2013, students have worked in Indonesia, Kenya, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nunavik, and Turkey to conduct research and analysis to form the basis of reports on the drivers of change in different markets.
