On 31st December 2024, BIGD celebrated the successful completion of its prestigious Young Researcher’s Fellowship (YRF) program with a closing ceremony at its premises. The intensive four-month program, which attracted numerous applicants, culminated in the graduation of 14 Trainee Research Associates (TRAs) who were selected through a rigorous, multi-stage screening process.
The program equipped the TRAs with comprehensive training in applied research methods and provided hands-on experience in various aspects of social science research. Under the guidance of BIGD’s senior researchers, the TRAs developed crucial research competencies and professional skills. Top-performing participants were given the opportunity to continue their research journeys as Research Associates at BIGD.
The ceremony marked another milestone in BIGD’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of social science researchers in Bangladesh. Through this fellowship program, BIGD continues to strengthen the country’s research capacity by bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical research skills.
