The Irsay Graduate Fellowship
The Irsay Institute has inaugurated a new Fellowship program for graduate students involved in sociomedical sciences at Indiana University Bloomington to further the mission of advancing interdisciplinary research in the sociomedical sciences. The Fellowships are sponsored by the University Graduate School.
Typically the award will be for a single semester (fall or spring) and there will be up to four available in an academic year.
The fellowships are granted to a student eligible for G901 who is working with a faculty mentor, and the highest priority will be given to:
- A student-mentor team who are working together on externally funded research or preliminary or pilot work in preparation for an externally funded research program;
- Research with Irsay-affiliated faculty on Irsay priority research topics; and/or
- Interdisciplinary research across the social, health, and medical sciences.
Graduate students who receive the fellowship will be provided a shared office in the Irsay offices in Morrison Hall and will be expected to participate in Irsay events and community during their fellowship. There will be monthly Fellows professional and research seminar meetings that include graduate students and affiliated post-docs and international visitors, and Fellows will be expected to attend and participate.
A committee of Irsay Faculty leaders will choose the Fellows from self-nominations by students that include endorsements from a mentor faculty member.
