				During the 12-month tenure of the Fellowship, analysts will be freed from routine duties and based away from their home offices, working individually or collaboratively on research projects. Successful candidates will demonstrate the ability to think critically, research and write effectively, and work independently. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a National Intelligence University Fellow certificate.Our Impact
				
				The Fellowship Program offers an unparalleled opportunity to interact with senior leaders of the Intelligence Community on substantive issues. Fellows are encouraged to discuss and share their research with their Fellowship cohort, NIU faculty and students, and the broader IC and academia.
		Having time to think broadly about strategic topics facing the world today is something not enough people are able to enjoy. Loved being part of this team and look forward to continued collaborations. Overall, I can’t think of any place I would have preferred to be for 2020.
