As RI C-AIM’s research evolves and new questions arise, recruiting graduate students, post-docs, and early-career faculty is crucial. The program will provide incentives such as seed and fellowship funding to get projects off the ground, and also skill-building and mentoring support. 
Graduate, Early-Career Recruitment
Research is being incorporated into undergraduate curricula at institutions across the state, increasing access for young professionals to RI C-AIM projects. Students will be recruited at the end of their junior year to develop RI C-AIM-focused Capstone projects.
