BGI Global Research Fellowship

The BGI Global Research Fellowship Program is sponsored in part by Beyond Good Intentions Inc., an innovative media organization dedicated to filmmaking and research in the field of international aid and development. The organization is currently looking for highly qualified undergraduate students who are interested in engaging in field-based research on effective approaches to international aid.

Summer research opportunities are available in ten different countries including Nicaragua, Bolivia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi, Senegal, Egypt, the Philippines, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Dominican Republic. Fellows will be asked to conduct research projects on innovative and effective aid organizations in various parts of the country over a 10-week period. The information gathered will provide the background research for educational materials on the subject of international aid, including the first film-based case studies which will be shot in 2009/2010.
