Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical time commitment?

The program runs from September to June and includes 10–12 mandatory events throughout the year, including an introductory gathering, an end-of-year gathering, monthly check-ins, and 4–5 workshops. Additionally, we will host informal meetings for those interested and encourage Fellows to connect with their cohort throughout the year.

Is the research self-managed or supervised?

The research project is not supervised. Fellows conduct their research independently over the course of one academic year. A short report is expected at the end of the fellowship.

Are fellows assigned advisors?

We do not automatically assign advisors to Fellows. However, we can help identify advisors upon request, particularly for undergraduate students.

What is the minimum/maximum word count for the final report?

The final report should be between 500-800 words (12 font, double spaced).

Can the work be produced in conjunction with/as part/as extension of other academic projects?

Yes, your research project can be part of a larger project (thesis, dissertation, book) and can also be an extension of past projects such as final papers, thesis etc.
