408 researchers have had their dissertations supported by the programme since 1988, and many of them have gone on to significant careers in research, higher education, and policymaking. To fund more fellowships, this programme collaborates with the Minerva Research Initiative. The programme currently grants up to 18 fellowships annually, and rewards help fund both the research and writing phases of dissertation preparation.

Applications from people who belong to groups that are typically underrepresented in diplomacy and global politics, peace and conflict studies, security studies, and other related academic fields are especially welcomed.
