What is the start and end date of the fellowship?
The research training supported by this fellowship must be done during the four month period between May 1 and August 31. The main requirement is that the student commit to the equivalent of 12 weeks of full-time research training. The exact start and end dates are determined in consultation with the students mentor. Many students begin around May 15 and finish up around August 7. Generally, participating students present their summers research (or interim progress report) in a SURF symposium around the first or second week in August.
