USIEF follows a multi-tier selection process for all fellowships. After the application deadline, no applications will be accepted. The submitted applications move through the following stages of the selection process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Technical Review:<\/strong> USIEF staff screen all the applications for eligibility and completeness before sending them to the reviewers\/screening committees. Application that are deemed ineligible or do not meet the award requirements are not moved forward in the review process. Only complete applications (including all the required documents ) received by the deadline are considered in the review process. USIEF has created a checklist to ensure the applicants do not miss any mandatory documents.<\/li>\n
  2. Screening\/Review Committees:\u00a0<\/strong>Technically eligible applications are reviewed by subject experts. Reviewers include academicians and professionals from both U.S. and India who have discipline or field-specific experience. The committee\/reviewers read and rate applications and make recommendations for further consideration.<\/li>\n
  3. National Selection Committee: <\/strong>Applicants who are short-listed in the review process are then invited for virtual interviews. Based on the fellowships available and priorities, final recommended list is drawn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Screening\/selection committees will generally use the following criteria to evaluate applications:<\/p>\n
