The Summer Research Institute promotes the use of Archive datasets
and encourages publication of research findings. At the Institute,
participants gain greater familiarity with the datasets they are using
and make progress on their research projects. Participants work during
daily computing sessions, obtain assistance from consultants and
colleagues, and attend relevant colloquia.
The Archive encourages applications from advanced graduate students,
post-docs, faculty, and other researchers. Applicants are rated based on
the quality of their proposal, their research background, and the
intention to publish their findings. In addition to these criteria,
applicants are selected in order to achieve some balance of datasets
being represented. The Archive will give preference to researchers who
have obtained and examined their intended dataset from our holdings
prior to applying to the Institute.
Instructions: Applications must include a recent CV and provide
answers to the questions below. Please type or paste your responses
directly into the boxes. The application and CV must be sent via e-mail
attachment to NDACAN@cornell.edu. Please title your attachments with your
last name (e.g. JonesApp.doc, JonesCV.doc).
