The Information Futures Lab Fellowship Programme – Spring 2023 is now accepting applications. The Information Futures Fellowship is an innovative opportunity for professionals working on solutions to the ongoing information problem in public health, healthcare, community groups, media, policy, design, and other sectors.
The six-month fellowship gives these professionals the tools, time, research collaborators, education, and peer network they need to generate fresh concepts, assess current initiatives, or create and test innovative approaches.
As members of the Brown University Information Futures Lab, IF Fellows will interact with a wide network of researchers, technologists, community leaders, journalists, policymakers, librarians, and educators throughout the fellowship.
