Spring 2024 ISF-DUIRI Fellowships
May 15, 2024
During the Spring 2024 semester, ISF supported 13 undergraduate students on 8 different projects through its DUIRI partnership. These interdisciplinary projects promote collaborative sustainability research in areas including climate change, semiconductors, biological science, air quality, and sustainability policy.
ISF supports ISF-DUIRI Fellows by hosting additional professional development activities and facilitate peer networking opportunities. Students share biweekly updates to ISF and their mentors regarding their progress throughout the semester. Other areas of support can include resources and training for poster development and writing research articles and abstracts. A full list of projects, mentors, and undergraduate research fellows from the Spring 2024 semester are listed below.
ISF will continue to partner with DUIRI for the Fall 2024 semester. The application window for Fall 2024 projects is open now until June 7, 2024. The application process for Fall 2024 internships will be open June 26, 2024-July 12, 2024. Additional information can be found on the DUIRI website. For the most up-to-date information and announcements, faculty and students can subscribe to our weekly newsletter by completing this survey.
