IDSC joins with University faculty to mentor IDSC Fellows on how to best utilize University\u2019s cutting-edge advanced computing resources in their proposed research projects.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning and close of each spring semester, IDSC Fellows present their work at an open, in-person symposium. No stipend is offered, but a small cash prize is awarded. IDSC Fellows develop their computational skills and expand their research experience under the guidance of <em>two<\/em> mentors. Both mentors are faculty members: The first is the student\u2019s research advisor, and the second is identified by the IDSC Fellows program and provides the computational research expertise.<\/p>\n<p>This is a prestigious designation awarded each year to a total of four graduate or undergraduate (sophomore level or above) students. Applicants may be from any School or College at the University of Miami and must be in good standing.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2023-2024 APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED: Monday, 10\/2<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Application Process, Materials, and Timeline | <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/umidsc\/docs\/idsc-fellows-brochure-2023-2024-for-issuu\">Brochure<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Applicants are required to submit a completed <a href=\"https:\/\/idsc.miami.edu\/idsc-fellows-program-application-form\/\"><strong>APPLICATION FORM<\/strong><\/a>, accompanied by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a transcript<\/li>\n<li>a CV, and<\/li>\n<li>in the case of graduate students, a support letter from your academic mentor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Steering Committee meets within one week of the closing of applications to choose the IDSC Fellows.<\/p>\n<p>An announcement is then emailed to offices of Undergraduate Research, Graduate Office (UM, MSOM, RSMAS, CoE, CAS), and to student groups at CoE, CAS, Med School, and RSMAS.
