The Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP) enables exchanges between academic scholars in the United States and Canada (Diaspora Fellows) and scholars at African higher education institutions (Host Fellows). Established in 2013 by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and implemented by the Institute of International Education (IIE), the program funds research and teaching collaborations that facilitate knowledge sharing, build the capacity of African higher education institutions, and create international partnerships between the African continent and the African scholar diaspora. Approaching its tenth year, the CADFP has developed a robust alumni network of over 600 Diaspora and Host Fellows. This research study aims to explore the trajectories of these CADFP alumni and the follow-on grant funding they have pursued beyond the initial fellowship grant disbursed by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The research brief focuses on three areas of inquiry: (1) what types of follow-on grants CADFP Fellows have applied to and received; (2) how their CADFP experience enabled Fellows to apply to collaborative grants with their counterparts; and (3) effective practices that enable this grant-related collaboration. The findings from this research inform programs looking to foster international research and collaboration among program beneficiaries and build sustained pipelines for further research beyond the fellowship.
