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.

*Eligibility*: The program seeks early career researchers: graduate
students, postdoctoral students, or early career researchers currently
appointed at US institutions.

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

Additional criteria include: benefit to the applicant’s career trajectory,
interest in and commitment to data sharing and open access; demonstrated
ability to work in teams and to show results within a limited time
framework.
