Overview

The NXT Fellowship views the 8-day immersion not as a conclusion, but as the launchpad for serious policy work. 
The NXT Research Grant is dedicated to ensuring your insights on India transform into lasting, globally relevant policy analysis.

What is the NXT Research Grant?

The grant is awarded to a select group of high-performing fellows who demonstrate the potential to translate their initial policy work into an impactful, long-form research paper.
It is a commitment from the NXT Foundation to support and publish work that accurately captures India’s strategic transformation.

The NXT Frontier

Successful grant recipients will have their final, accepted papers featured prominently in our annual publication: The NXT Frontier.

This publication shall be distributed globally to governments, policy institutes, universities, and decision-makers, providing a powerful platform for your research. 

The research abstracts and papers will also be permanently archived and featured on the NXT website. Our aim is to ensure your research not only gains insight but also gains immediate global influence.
