Could your #nonprofit benefit from a graduate student who works exclusively on data and evaluation efforts? The Data Innovation Project's Applied Research Fellowship embeds DIP-trained graduate students from the University of Southern Maine in community organizations to support their applied research and evaluation efforts. The placement spans the 2025-2026 academic year. Student stipends and scholarship costs are covered by grant funding and are not the responsibility of community host sites. Mission-based organizations across #Maine are welcome to apply! Learn more and apply here by #June 6 for a Fellow who will start September 2025. https://datainnovationproject.org/applied_research_fellowship/ (fb)
