The RWJF Evaluation Fellows program is open to applicants from any group that has been historically disadvantaged or underrepresented in program evaluation.  This includes, but is not limited to, individuals from ethnic and racial minorities historically underrepresented in program evaluation.  It also includes persons of all races and ethnicity who come from groups that have historically been disadvantaged or underrepresented in program evaluation, such as first-generation college graduates and people from low-income communities. These examples are intended to be illustrative, not exclusive. Applicants who do not fall within one of these categories but who believe they are from a historically disadvantaged or underrepresented background should explain their individual circumstances in their application.

The program consists of two cohorts:

EMERGING PROFESSIONALS
The Emerging Fellow cohort is for post-graduates, research and evaluation firms, as well as foundations, non-profits, and government agencies with research and evaluation programs.
