CRAPA FELLOWS PROGRAM

USCIRF established the Joseph R. Crapa Fellowship Program in September 2009 in memory of Joe Crapa, who served as Executive Director from 2002-2007. Subject to availability of future appropriations, USCIRF will annually designate as Crapa Fellows two or more persons selected among individuals having a record of outstanding academic and/or other accomplishment in fields relevant to the issue of international religious freedom, including foreign affairs, direct experience abroad, human rights, national security matters and international law. The tenure of a Crapa Fellow typically will range from six to twelve months depending on the nature and scope of the particular Fellowship project.
