Applied Research Program

The Protection Project’s Applied Research Program is a scholarship open to university students and young professionals to conduct field research on a topic of his or her choice relating to human rights and the strengthening of the rule of law in a developing country. The purpose of the program is to encourage professional, academic, and cultural exchange and to promote the practical application of human rights scholarship. The experience is intended to foster a greater understanding of the Middle East and the movement toward human reform in this part of the world among students studying international relations and young professionals. Upon completion of the research project, each fellow is required to submit a report of his or her findings.
