This depends entirely on the nature of the research project. Please keep in mind that the Kiva Fellows Program has very specific requirements of the participants regarding journaling and other responsibilities to the MFI. It is generally difficult to combine the program with an ongoing project because of the time commitment required of Kiva Fellows (40+ hours/week). If by being a Kiva Fellow you are also doing research (using your interviews for academic research) then it may be a possibility. Please mention your specific circumstances in your cover letter.
