The Salam Fellows Program is an initiative led by the USA National Taleem Department’s Salam Initiative Team. Its purpose of this program is to boost the pipeline of Ahmadi Muslim scientists who, InshaAllah, will lead the next Islamic Golden Age of science and technology.
A Salam Fellow is selected to the Salam Fellows Program. He or she is an USA Ahmadi Muslim scientist who is actively engaged in scientific research and aspires to reach the highest realms in his or her respective field. The Salam Fellows Program includes a subcategory called the Salam Fellow Trainee, which refers to a similarly aspiring student of science who is advanced in his or her education or training and has committed to a career in scientific research.
We broadly define scientific research as the study of any fundamental or applied field by utilizing a scientific approach. Examples include STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), economics, and quantitative social sciences.
To apply as a Salam Fellow Trainee, you must be a graduate student, an advanced undergraduate student, or a trainee (such as a postdoctoral) who has committed to a career in scientific research. Candidates temporarily working in non-research roles (e.g., during a gap year), fulfilling mandatory components of their training (e.g., a medical residency or fellowship), or with other extenuating circumstances may still apply. In your application, please clearly explain your current situation and how it serves as a bridge toward your career in scientific research.
