The Discovery Research Hub at CICI provides research leadership experience to graduate students in the arts, humanities, and social sciences while entwining the individual learning experiences of undergraduate students with the larger academic pursuits of the university’s community.
How does it work?
CICI Discovery Fellows:
-
lead independent research clusters of 2 to 3 undergraduate students who assist them in some aspect of their dissertation research;
-
design a research agenda for the undergraduates and work with them throughout the academic year to hone methods and ideas related to the field(s) of their specific project;
-
develop leadership, mentorship, and other professional skills in a workshop series facilitated by the Discovery Initiative;
-
moderate a culminating research symposium based on their cluster’s work.
CICI Discovery Fellows will receive a stipend of $2,000 - $3,000 per semester (depending on the number of mentees) in addition to $500 in research funds. Up to 10 research clusters will be funded in the 2025-26 academic year.
Application Deadline: June 10, 2025
