You’ll find attached information about the upcoming Visiting Fellows program at the Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies (CNAPS) at the Brookings Institution.

The program, a four-month residential research fellowship at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, will host two classes of Visiting Fellows in the 2010-2011 academic year. The Autumn class will be in residence at Brookings during August 16-December 17, 2010 and will include one Fellow each from China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia. The Spring session is scheduled for March 1-June 30, 2011 and will include one Fellow each from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Established in 1998 as part of the Brookings Institution’s Foreign Policy program, CNAPS is a center for research, analysis, and exchange on the compelling policy challenges facing the Northeast Asia region and U.S.-Asia relations. The Center is directed by Dr. Richard Bush, a senior fellow in Brookings’s Foreign Policy Studies program.

CNAPS gives preference to applications that include research proposals focused on “challenges of cross-border crime.” Fellows are drawn from mid- to senior ranks of the governments, think tanks, universities, media, and business communities in East Asia. Fellows are selected on a highly competitive basis, following a careful review of all applications. Applicants selected for the fellowship are eligible for a living stipend of up to $20,000 for the four-month term.

You’ll find more information on the program, including application deadlines and a list of former Fellows, in the documents attached.
