IDIA currently does not offer research fellowships. Stay tuned for new programs and opportunities.
The IDIA Fellowship Programs were designed to catalyze the Institute’s mission of shaping a digital society that promotes equality, well-being, and prosperity through advanced research and cross-sector collaboration.
The Public-Private-Partnership (P3) Faculty Fellowship empowered tenure-line and research faculty to build deeply collaborative teams with industry partners, providing seed funding to tackle impactful societal problems and develop breakthrough technologies that serve the regional and national economy.
Simultaneously, the IDIA Predoctoral Fellowship supported high-potential Ph.D. and M.S. students pursuing ambitious, interdisciplinary research at the intersection of digital innovation and critical emerging technologies (such as Generative AI).
Together, these programs positioned Mason researchers as central hubs of innovation, drove the growth of the Northern Virginia innovation ecosystem while preparing fellows for large-scale external funding and leadership in the digital economy.
