Research Fellowships
These are granted to researchers working directly on HLPC research projects. These are tenable for one year and extended to 2 years, maximum. Where resources are available, the research is funded by the HLPC with expected output such as working papers, book chapters, monographs, research reports, policy briefs or journal papers. Fellows from national and international universities fall under this category. Formal and informal arrangements with international universities and organisations allow researchers to come to Zimbabwe as volunteers to undertake policy research and produce papers and publications as part of an exchange programme.
