Ph.D. candidates from developing nations are eligible to apply for fellowships under the World Bank Robert S. McNamara Fellowship Program. With a residency length of six to ten months, this program promotes creative, development-focused doctoral studies carried out in a partner organization overseas under the supervision of a study adviser. A one-week technical onboarding session, which covers instruction in reproducible research procedures, will precede the fellows’ entry into the program.

Fellows will become more adept at identifying, researching, and writing about important development policy topics by working with DEC economists.
