Get Involved

FATES welcomes student volunteers who can commit at least 3 hours a week to working on research with our team. The benefits to you as a student are many, including:

  • Participating in a collaborative community of researchers and practitioners committed to educational equity;
  • Mentoring and hands-on experience conducting research on multiple topics;
  • Having the opportunity to write and be involved in publishing research briefs, working papers, and journal articles;
  • Having the opportunity to write and be involved in publishing research briefs, working papers, and journal articles;
  • Receiving training in conducting literature reviews, navigating human subjects approvals, analyzing data, and communicating to practitioners and policy makers.

Students who express interest and can commit to contributing to the work will first undergo an informal interview with the the Project Director, Dr. Jacob Gross. If both agree it is a good fit, you will be asked to join our work and begin your onboarding and training.
