Research Support

Mini-Grants
The program offers small amounts of funding to Fellows to help them complete their dissertations and gain access to professional networks. Mini-grants allow students to obtain software, complete a particular piece of research, or participate in relevant professional conferences.
Summer Stipend
The program provides a summer stipend after the first summer in the program to help Fellows complete their dissertations in a timely manner.
Mentoring
The Program Director mentors Fellows. He meets with them, provides oral and written responses to their research, participates in their practice job talks and advises Fellows on career opportunities.

Fellows receive administrative support from ISERP’s staff and material support in the form of supplies, photocopying, and the like.

Office Space
Fellows are provided with a desk in ISERP’s open-plan research suite.
Computing
All Fellow offices are equipped with computers and related technologies and access to the ISERP computer network. This allows Fellows to access relevant software for their research and to have technical support on hand.
