Research Residency

 Our Research Residency is designed for students and early-career professionals in public policy, economics, market research, and analytics who want to move beyond classroom theory and work on live, high-impact capstone projects.

During the residency, participants collaborate with our senior researchers on real-world assignments involving data collection, primary research, policy analysis, and evidence synthesis. Residents gain hands-on experience with methodologies used by leading think tanks and development organizations, sharpen their analytical skills, and contribute directly to ongoing projects across sectors such as agriculture, bioenergy, markets, and social protection.

The program combines structured mentorship, field exposure (where applicable), and guided independent work—making it an ideal stepping stone for those aspiring to careers in research, consulting, policy design, or impact evaluation.
