CIPR sponsors Indigenous people to visit the centre and become involved in collaborative research with CIPR staff and higher degree research students through the Visiting Indigenous Fellowship Scheme. 

The scheme was originally funded by foundations associated with Rio Tinto and Westpac as well as by the Australian National University.

Visiting Indigenous Fellowships can take one of two forms:

1.    An individual can develop a research proposal in collaboration with a CIPR staff member or student. Visits would usually be to the Canberra campus of the ANU for up to eight weeks.

2.    A group may come together with CIPR staff and students for a workshop on a research topic of mutual interest. Visits would typically last a week or less and be located at ANU campuses in Canberra, Darwin or even elsewhere.

For both forms of Fellowship, the first step is for potential applicants to collaborate with CIPR staff or students to develop a proposal.
