The 2026 cohort lists eight host organizations, and top candidates are interviewed by both NCRC and the host organization before a final decision is made.

Worth knowing
You apply to a specific host project, not to the fellowship at large, so reading each host's focus area and tailoring your application to that project's goals is what separates competitive applicants from the rest.
