Are you a UMass Amherst faculty member with a research project idea that addresses public interest technology challenges while also reducing societal disparities? If so, we want to hear from you. February 1 is the submission deadline for PIT@UMass’ 2023 Faculty Fellowship Program.
Approximately 7-11 Fellowships will be awarded in late February, with three of them being sponsored by the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), Manning College of Information and Computer Science and Marieb College (CICS) of Nursing.
The Fellowships, with the exception of the three sponsored awards, can relate to various areas. The three sponsored Fellowships will be expected to focus on activities specifically related to SBS, CICS or Nursing. Proposals can be in the amount between $5K-$8K. They can also complement existing funding from other UMass departments, schools, or colleges to incorporate public interest considerations.
Selected applicants will have the opportunity to fulfill their PIT-related research goals and share their work with other Fellows and the PIT@UMass community.
