Quiroz Barrios Maria Del Mar Muhsine Senart Nour Elashmawy Shaping a Researcher from the Ground Up: The Robert S. McNamara Fellowship Quite often, people reach out to me asking what economists do. Many of them expect an answer related to finance, business, politics, or even an emphasis on superior mathematical prowess. I do not pretend to answer that question, but it is worth noting that economics is not commonly associated with the realm of science. Surprising as it may seem, economists are, in fact, social scientists. This role can be challenging to comprehend, particularly in many developing countries where the research work in economics is not emphasized as a successful professional path. This misconception belongs to the prevailing paradigm in the development countries. The Robert McNamara Fellowship is an effort to disrupt that paradigm. Matching potential researchers in economics from developing countries with researchers in the World Bank’s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) and Development Research Group departments means to generate more opportunities for diversifying research groups and reducing the concentration of research activities. For individuals who have not yet embarked on a doctoral program but possess a strong desire to explore and answer questions, the fellowship program offers a valuable opportunity
