<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif; color:black">These fellowships will be awarded for a period of one year to fund EIC-related research, including innovations to maximize scientific output of the EIC and studies to expedite
both scientific and experimental readiness for EIC operations. The areas of research include theory, simulations, detectors, and computing. Once COVID restrictions are ended, fellows are expected to spend half the remaining part of their fellowship time
at Jefferson Lab. Each graduate fellowship provides the awardee’s home institution with a $13,000 stipend and for postdoctoral fellows $36,000 will be provided. Limited travel support for conferences is also available during the fellowship period. The awardee’s
home institute must agree to provide the remaining support for the awardees. </span><span style="font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif; color:black"></span></p>

The awardees must devote at least half of their time towards the proposed research during the fellowship period. The awardees may not concurrently hold another major full-time fellowship or internship. The award is limited to one year, though fellows can
reapply. </span><span style="font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif; color:black"></span></p>
