The Agriculture, Nutrition & Health Academy (AHN Academy) is calling for applications for their new Science-Policy Fellowships to fund three researchers for one year of full time work to:

1. Support evidence-based decisions by a policy-making organization in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, using results of recently conducted scientifically valid impact assessments, program evaluations or other policy analyses; and
2. Build skills and experience in translating and positioning scientific evidence to guide policies and programs that increase use of healthy diets or reduce loss and waste in SSA or SA, with attention to climate change and the environment, equity and gender transformative actions.

Successful proposals will build on the candidate’s previous research about one or more policies and programs to deliver evidence useful for decision-making. Candidates should demonstrate how this Fellowship builds on their past work, furthers their career, and benefits from their proposed mentorship and placement within a policy organisation.
