IPaT Research Fellowship Program (Closed)

IPaT Research Fellowship Program Accepting Applications, November 7, 2021 -  Deadline to Apply (CLOSED)

The Institute for People and Technology (IPaT) at Georgia Tech is excited to announce the launch of our Research Fellowship program starting Spring 2021. This program aims to bring together students from across campus to partner with industry mentors and collaborators in the IPaT ecosystem. IPaT research fellowships should initiate new avenues of research or further existing research activities. The Fellowship provides funding in partnership with sponsors, as well as resources and access to assets – labs, technologies, data - that IPaT oversees. This year’s funding is generously provided by Verizon Wireless.

IPAT cordially invites students from across all disciplines and class levels (graduate and undergraduate) to submit research fellowship proposals to fund one academic year of research from Jan 2022 – Dec 2022 (Spring and Fall semesters). IPAT will cover tuition (along with the student’s home school/college) for graduate students and provide stipends for both graduate and undergraduate students. Additional research project funds and support will be made available for Summer 2022 for Research Fellows on a case-by-case basis.
