The US region of the Research Data Alliance (RDA/US) invites applications for its Data Share fellowship program. The successful Fellows will engage in the RDA through carrying out self-proposed projects and through extensive networking and communication with the RDA community. The projects will be carried out independently, and be relevant to the goals and interests of an RDA Working, Interest, or Coordination Group (e.g., Technical Advisory Board). Fellows should identify 2 Working or Interest Groups in which they will participate during their Fellowship. Applicants are encouraged to reach out to the chairs of the groups to request a letter of support.

The Program duration is 12 or 18 months depending on the nature of the project; accordingly, Fellows will receive a $5000 or $10,000 stipend. The Program also covers travel to RDA plenaries during the duration of the fellowship (international and domestic travel). Fellows are required to participate in a cohort building orientation workshop held at the beginning of the fellowship.

Criteria for selection: Applicants are sought from a variety of backgrounds: communications, social, natural and physical sciences, business, informatics, and computer science.

• Prepare 1-2 page statement that describes proposed project along with a timeline, benefit to career trajectory, and the 2 Working or Interest Groups in which fellow will participate during fellowship.
  
• Complete application form (along with your statement, CV and optional letter of support) at http://us.rd-alliance.org/2016-2017-rdaus-fellows-application-form
