The College of The Bahamas has developed the National Policy Research Fellowship Awards Programme (NPRFAP) as a strategic initiative aimed at involving faculty in the national policy agenda as advisors to the public and private sectors through research.
The National Policy Research Fellowship Awards Programme promotes and facilitates the conduct of empirical investigations to inform national development, thereby contributing to enhancing social, civic and economic conditions. Specifically, National Policy Research Fellows are expected to:
- review and evaluate relevant literature in the area of investigation;
- consult with national, regional and international experts as practicable;
- analyse existing policies and programmes;
- conduct an evaluation of proposed project(s); submit results to the contacted agency and submit for publication to a journal, including the College Research Journal; and
- share their work with peers at local seminars, academic conferences, and professional organisation events.
With the ultimate goal of informing national policy decision-making, the programme is designed to share research findings with policymakers, programme administrators, leaders in industry and commerce, academics and the general public by means of reports and scholarly publications that are balanced, authoritative and accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike.
