CAD does not pay an honorarium or otherwise provide monetary compensation to Fellows, since the Program is an opportunity to learn in situ about Peru’s situation and to broaden research, writing and presentation skills in topics related to CAD’s line of work. Fellows are expected to cover their expenses traveling to and from Lima as well as their housing, local transportation and incidentals while living in Peru. At individual Fellow’s request, CAD will assist Fellows in securing a grant or other type of funding opportunities.

CAD provides pleasant, modern office space (including high-speed internet); and an enjoyable work environment with a diverse, innovative, and very collegial staff.

“The offices here create a really pleasant work environment. There’s sufficient room to get work done independently but it’s also relaxed enough and has a lot of open spaces so it doesn’t feel stressful” (Nathan Swinton, SRF 05)

"Everyone in the office works hard, but it doesn’t really feel like you’re at work because it’s such a collegial atmosphere" (Jeffrey Purdie, SRF 05)

Fellows are expected to take care of and pay for their housing arrangements. CAD can provide logistical support in locating safe, affordable short term housing.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better housing situation in Lima—a large room in a house overlooking the ocean in a safe neighborhood close to work. I enjoyed hearing all about the interesting lives of my host family, and living with them helped me improve my Spanish, too.” (Nathan Swinton, SRF 05)

"I stayed in a house right across the street from Pacific Ocean views, near the nicest neighborhoods in Lima and within biking distance from work. The office space provided." (Jeffrey Purdie, SRF 05)

CAD does not provide medical insurance, nor cover the cost of medical treatment and prevention. It is important that Fellows arrange medical insurance covering their stay in Peru.
