General Policies & Procedures

Am I be expected to apply for fellowships while I am a group member?

YES, especially for graduate students for which one can apply for fellowships after one has started. We will expect you to take these applications very seriously. In general this is a good idea for several reasons:

• It looks great on your resume
• It gives you independence from funding ups & downs (and protects you from having to TA), and gives more freedom to choose a project or to fine-tune what your research
• It gives you a link with a funding agency which generally opens some doors with them for collaboration and possibly future jobs
• It liberates grant money to buy computers, instruments, pay for trips to conferences, etc.
