All researchers involved in research projects networked and coordinated by CASAS are designated Associates of the Centre.

In other instances, where and when funds are available, CASAS may grant fellowships to individual researchers it deems fit to be accorded such status for periods of up to two years in each case. Circumstances permitting, such fellowships can be renewed once. Fellowships will only be granted in cases where specific project funds are available or can be raised.

Postgraduate researchers and visiting researchers with independent means who wish to undertake research in the region as part of their postgraduate studies or for other purposes, can be accorded Associateship of the Centre provided they have their own research funding.

In these and similar instances, all costs of such attachment will be borne by the Associate. CASAS may provide desk-space to such researchers. CASAS will facilitate the acquisition of research funding where possible.
