[Pols-l] Thompson call

[Avdan, Nazli]

Dear colleagues,

I hope this email finds you well. As you can tell from the subject title, this email is the Thompson call.
On that note, you may be aware that we are running a bit behind this year, due to the delayed start of the semester, and uncertainty over the budget. Regardless, the good news is that we have sufficient funds for Thompson scholarships this summer.

As I'd like to award students the Thompsons early in April to make formal announcements and recognize them during Phi Sigma (ideally), the deadline will be the end of March.
This will allow me to ask students to apply by approximately 9th of April (a bit shorter than the standard 2 weeks I gave them in the past) and I'll make decisions quickly thereafter before 4/15. This would nearly conform to past decisions, accounting for the delayed start.


To refresh, the Thompson program is an excellent opportunity for summer research support which also grants graduate students hands-on research experience.

I'm including the official call as a Word document. Faculty members who desire to become Thompson scholarship mentors should draft a proposal with an outline of research goals and output. Please see the attached document for additional details.


Please contact me with any questions about this opportunity.



Best,

Nazli
