During their two-year appointments, CLIR/DLF Postdoctoral Fellows in Data Curation receive $3,000 annual stipends for elective professional development expenses. The stipend is in addition to the reimbursement benefits for expenses related to attending required program meetings. All benefits are contingent upon each fellow’s continued employment at their host institution under the terms of their fellowship employment contract or appointment letter. Use of the stipend must support a fellow’s own professional and intellectual development related to research data curation, software curation, or the curation of other digital resources supporting academic research.
Fellows must sign an agreement acknowledging proper use of these funds before they can receive the stipend. Stipends will be sent directly to Fellows on or around September 1 each year. Fellows will report on how they spent their stipends in their semiannual reports or exit reports due in June.
