Faculty Involvement

Scholars will work closely with a faculty mentor of their choosing over the course of their research project. Faculty mentors must be Tufts faculty, and can come from any of the University’s schools. Faculty mentors will receive a monetary research award.

Students are encouraged to explore faculty websites and speak with faculty that they are interested in working with as soon as possible. Faculty can work with the student to help create a research plan.
