Georgia Tech undergraduate and graduate students engage with IPaT in many ways, including joining research teams, collaborating with other students and faculty, and participating in student competitions. We also provide connections to industry partners, funding and other resources to facilitate student projects and research.
IPaT Research Fellowship Program
The Institute for People and Technology (IPaT) at Georgia Tech is excited to announce the launch of our Research Fellowship program starting Spring 2021. This program aims to bring together students from across campus to partner with industry mentors and collaborators in the IPaT ecosystem. IPaT research fellowships should initiate new avenues of research or further existing research activities. The Fellowship provides funding in partnership with sponsors, as well as resources and access to assets – labs, technologies, data - that IPaT oversees. This year’s funding is generously provided by Verizon Wireless.
IPAT cordially invites students from across all disciplines and class levels (graduate and undergraduate) to submit research fellowship proposals to fund one academic year of research from Jan 2022 – Dec 2022 (Spring and Fall semesters). IPAT will cover tuition (along with the student’s home school/college) for graduate students and provide stipends for both graduate and undergraduate students. Additional research project funds and support will be made available for Summer 2022 for Research Fellows on a case-by-case basis.

2021 George Family Foundation Fellowships
The George Family Foundation, established by Georgia Institute of Technology alumnus Bill George, is offering fellowship grants to qualified student candidates. Four grants in the amount of $3,750 will be awarded to select students based on academic strength and commitment to innovation in health systems as a domain of study and/or sustained career commitment. Students must also demonstrate leadership through involvement in service, student mentoring and external activities (for example).
Bill George, a successful healthcare delivery executive, has written numerous books about “authentic leadership.” Fellowship applicants should also exhibit the potential of such leadership within the Institute for People and Technology (IPaT), Georgia Tech, and our global community.
The foundation will consider current graduate students pursuing graduate education and research relevant to health systems. All award recipients will be encouraged to meet with the George Family Foundation representatives if/when they visit campus during their award period.
Students must be nominated by a Georgia Tech faculty member. Nominations require a one-page statement of purpose written by the nominee, the nominee's resume, and a letter of endorsement by the faculty nominator. The George Family Foundation is looking for commitment to healthcare and demonstration of leadership, so these qualities should be evident in the recommendation, their work, and their purpose statement.
Nominations are due by November, 7th and awards will be announced in mid-December, 2021.
The spring call for nominations will be open to students applying to Georgia Tech.
Nominations can be made directly by faculty members using this link: https://gatech.infoready4.com/#competitionDetail/1853118
