Jensen Hughes is delighted to announce a collaboration with the SFPE Foundation on the new GCI应用研究奖学金 程序!
Through the efforts of the 34+ participating organizations in the 大挑战计划 (GCI)为, the SFPE Foundation has identified a gap between the innovative research and training taking place in university settings and the emerging challenges that engineering practitioners face in the field.
This fellowship 程序 is designed to help close that gap by connecting industry partners with advanced graduate students or post-doctoral researchers conducting applied research on emerging GCI topics relevant to practicing fire engineering professionals and their stakeholders. By matching emerging researchers focused on cutting-edge problems with industry leaders who can help translate that research into professional practice, this 程序 aims to create a pipeline for progress on critical issues.
Industry partners will be able to better communicate the challenges they are facing and where (and what kinds of) research would be useful to help address those issues to the researchers who are motivated to apply their skills to practical problems in the field. Both sides will benefit from the exchange of ideas and the experience while developing a shared language and understanding when it comes to approaching applied problems.
该计划提供 30000美元 in fellowship support to an advanced doctoral student or post-doc conducting research on an emerging topic in partnership with a host organization that provides industry mentorship and guidance throughout the eight-month fellowship period.
In this first pilot year of the 程序, Jensen Hughes will serve as the host organization for the selected fellow, with the SFPE Foundation facilitating the selection process and the administration of the 程序. Eligible doctoral students and post-docs are invited to apply under one of the 今年开放奖学金主题. Topics correspond to priority areas identified by the GCI working groups and will change each year depending on the needs of the participating industry hosts.
