Partnership for Public Good (PPG) Research Fellowship 2026

Applications are open for the Partnership for Public Good (PPG) Research Fellowship 2026. The PPG Research Fellowship is a six-month, project-based fellowship designed to support early career researchers interested in improving government effectiveness. Fellows will be paid to conduct policy-relevant background research, use rigorous methods to collect and analyze data, and co-author publications for one of five pre-determined high-priority topics related to public procurement and local government operations. The fellowship provides dedicated time and mentorship for researchers interested in learning about and contributing directly to PPG’s mission of helping governments deliver better outcomes for residents. Over six months, fellows will work on a defined research topic under the guidance of PPG staff and alongside two other fellows. The program combines independent research with regular professional development and collaboration opportunities through coaching calls and research team meetings. Fellows will receive support translating their work into draft publications, policy briefs, and other public-facing outputs that strengthen both the evidence base for government reform and the fellows’ research portfolios. This remote opportunity is designed for early-career researchers, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, early-career faculty, research or policy staff, and other professionals with comparable experience. Fellows will attend one in-person research retreat. Prior to the start of the fellowship, PPG and each selected fellow will agree on work hours (with flexibility in scheduling), project goals and deliverables, and expectations regarding data access, use, rights, and ownership. To apply, submit each of the following no later than September 28: Jude Ogar is an educator and youth development practitioner with years of experience working in the education and youth development space. He is passionate about the development of youth in Africa.
