The Penn Project on the Future of U.S.-China Relations develops recommendations for U.S. policies toward China from next generation China scholars and analysts, who are selected as Project Fellows through a competitive process. The Project has two primary goals: (i) to provide a forum for rising U.S.-based scholars and analysts of China to contribute academically-informed, policy-relevant analysis on the most pressing issues in U.S.-China relations; (ii) to deepen U.S. capacity to understand and evaluate critical issues in the U.S.-China relationship. Project Fellows are distributed across each of the Project’s six key issue areas: National Security; Trade & Competitiveness; Technology; Human Rights, Law, & Democracy; Climate & Environment; and Research, Education, & Academic Freedom. The Project’s second fellowship cohort was announced in April 2024. The Call for Applications for the third cohort will be issued in January 2025.
