Description
The Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation Fellowships at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Center support faculty, doctoral and postdoctoral students, and practitioners whose research or policy work advances healthy democracy in the 21st century.

The program is multidisciplinary and seeks applicants with well-developed research agendas that can be translated from research to impact. Fellows join a vibrant academic community, participate in Lab meetings, and contribute to the Ash Center’s mission of democracy innovation.
