Faculty Fellows Program
CPI is pleased to run a Faculty Fellows Program funded through industry sponsorship. The fellowship funding will be available as research funds and therefore can be used for any research purposes, as applicable.
The program is intended to recognize and support excellence in research. A faculty fellow will also have certain outreach responsibilities, while a sponsor named fellow will also facilitate two to three yearly technical meetings with the donor's company business units and/or leadership.
CPI members who wish to learn more about the program can access more information from CPI's internal website.
