Overview
The Collective Continuance: Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship (CCF) supports early-career University of California, Berkeley doctoral students whose research engages Indigenous knowledge systems and psychedelic science through ethical, relational and community centered research practices. It is important to engage Indigenous knowledge systems because these communities hold long-standing knowledge related to healing, ecology and consciousness that has shaped contemporary psychedelic research and practice.
The fellowship awards $10,000 to each fellow to support academic research and professional development. Fellows also receive structured mentorship with Indigenous advisors and faculty mentors, monthly cohort seminars, guest workshops on ethical research practice and peer dialogue throughout the academic year.
