A Research Fellowship is a program that provides funding and support for individuals, often postgraduates or early-career researchers, to conduct independent research in a specific field. These fellowships are typically offered by universities, research institutions, or government agencies and can last from a few months to several years. They often include a stipend, access to resources, and sometimes mentorship opportunities. Fellowships can focus on various disciplines, such as the sciences, humanities, or social sciences, and may require applicants to submit a research proposal. Successful candidates gain valuable experience, enhance their professional networks, and contribute to advancing knowledge in their area of study.
