Important Note: If you are planning to apply for a short term fellowship at an outside institution or organization, and you will receive funding from a source outside of Yale, you must inform your faculty mentor. Your faculty mentor will need to work with their business office in order to process the application. Please notify your faculty mentor at least 10 days prior to the application due date as there may be additional forms required by Yale's Office of Sponsored Projects.
