The closing ceremony of the Young Researcher’s Fellowship (YRF) program took place on 20 April 2026, at the BIGD premises, marking the successful completion of its four-month journey.
This year, the program attracted over 570 applications, from which 19 talented TRAs were selected through a rigorous multi-stage process. Throughout the fellowship, participants engaged in intensive training on applied research methods, gained hands-on experience across various aspects of social science research, and received mentorship from senior researchers at BIGD. High-performing TRAs are also given the opportunity to continue their journey as Research Associates, further contributing to impactful research initiatives.
