The application for a PEAK Fellowship includes two parts: one from the proposed fellow (the individual portion) and one from that individual’s home organization (the organizational portion).
The individual portion requires:
-
a fellowship plan identifying the skills the candidate wishes to develop during her/his training and how these skills will help build his or her home organization’s capacity;
-
a proposal for an applied project that will use these skills upon the fellow’s return to his or her home organization;
-
a resume (in English) listing the candidate’s relevant professional and academic experience; and
-
a copy of TOEFL scores (if from a non-English speaking country) or reasonable proof of English language proficiency to communicate with staff and submit reports in English.
The organizational portion must include a written commitment to:
-
the fellowship plan;
-
the candidate’s applied project proposal;
-
supporting the candidate (if selected) to the extent possible by paying all or a portion of his or her salary during the two- to four-month placement;
-
releasing the candidate (if selected) from all work-related duties during the two- to four-month placement; and
-
reintegrating the candidate into the organization with expanded responsibilities that take advantage of his or her new skills.
The organization must also provide the following information:
-
organizational chart;
-
promotional materials or technical reports;
-
list of agencies/institutions with which the organization collaborates; and
-
list of funding sources (year and amount).
Please note that each organization may nominate only one candidate per year.
