We are pleased to announce that eight graduate students from the University of Minnesota have been selected to participate in the Summer 2022 MnDRIVE Human in the Data Fellowship. Each fellow will receive $7,000 as well as a range of professional development opportunities while participating in the summer cohort to pursue a range of interdisciplinary projects.
