Religion, Human Rights & Religious Freedom 
an international exchange & research  project 

Columbia University with the support of the Pew Charitable Trusts,  has
established a training and research program for religious  leaders, human
rights activists, and scholars. A major goal of the  Project is to promote
interaction between religious communities  and the international human
rights movement, as well as to enhance  concern for religious freedom and
religious tolerance.

The Project will organize annual exchange and research programs at  Columbia
University for human rights advocates and religious  figures.  During the
first three years, they will come from  Eastern and Central Europe and the
former Soviet Union.  Each  year, there will be nine funded fellows,
appointed as visiting  scholars at Columbia University.  The program begins
each  September and continues for 4 to 7 months.

Welcomed as individual applicants are men and women active in  human rights
organizations and/or religious groups in Central and  Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union.  The program is  conducted in English and fluency is
required.
