Approaching its tenth year, the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP) has developed a robust alumni network of over 600 Diaspora and Host Fellows. The findings of this research brief highlight the trajectories of these CADFP alumni and the follow-on grant funding they have pursued beyond the initial fellowship grant disbursed by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The research brief focuses on three areas of inquiry: (1) what types of follow-on grants CADFP Fellows have applied to and received; (2) how their CADFP experience enabled Fellows to apply to collaborative grants with their counterparts; and (3) effective practices that enable this grant-related collaboration.
This research brief is part of a three-part research series looking at CADFP Fellows achievements in curriculum development, building networks, and follow-on grants alumni and Fellows have pursued beyond the initial fellowship grant.
