Every summer,
the CHIPS Summer Research Institute is hosted in one of 6 sites, including
Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Baltimore, San Diego, Tempe, and Eugene, Oregon.
CHIPS fellows forge
mentoring
relationships with the CHIPS faculty, who help their fellows with developing and
meeting their
career objectives
and embarking on a
large-scale
research project.
Each
fellow receives a
travel award
to
visit
their
CHIPS mentor
and to
attend
one national academic
conference
during their fellowship year.
