Upon completion of the projects, the Public Policy Scholars are expected to produce Papers/Reports containing conclusions or findings based on original explorations of current political or policy issues. INN places a premium on studies that will offer fresh perspectives on long-standing challenges or explore new and hitherto unexplored issues on the public agenda, reflecting the changing contours of the wider Indian public discourse.
The conclusions of such explorations should add up to original policy approaches to the issues under study. The Scholars will be paid remuneration for the duration of their studies and will be provided with work stations at the INN offices in Delhi, Mumbai & Hyderabad.
In addition to the above, we are now accepting applications for a special round of Public Policy Scholarships. Research proposals are invited on the theme “Elections 2014 and The Quality of Democracy”.
The scholarships are open to scholars, practitioners and bureaucrats in the fields of political science, public policy, law, and other social science disciplines. We invite applications that have cross-disciplinary approaches to their research as well. INN will provide scholars with a stipend, office space, free accommodation in Chennai and a research grant for conducting fieldwork. The scholars will be primarily based in Delhi, Mumbai & Hyderabad, India from November 10th, 2013 to January 24st, 2014.
The deadline for submission of applications is October 25th, 2013. Instructions and application form can be downloaded here.
