The Nova SBE Public Policy institute (NPPI) is based on a very light fixed structure. The vast majority of the individuals engaged with NPPI do so as fellows. There are three types of fellows, according to the nature of the collaboration with NPPI: research fellows, policy fellows, and student fellows.
Fellows are appointed by the NPPI leadership. Appointment lasts as long as a fellow remains active. NPPI leadership reviews the list of fellows on an annual basis.
Generally speaking, there is no compensation associated with the appointment as a fellow. In some cases, NPPI will reimburse fellows for specific expenses or compensate them for specific tasks.
