GIT Prototyping a Regional PIT Faculty Fellows Program

Our original goal was to create a PIT network of faculty based in the southeast coming together around new collaborative research projects. Our vision called for faculty pairs to work on specific projects along with support activities to build a community of practice among faculty and students. We were excited to combine the technology strengths of Georgia Tech with the breadth and strength in the Policy School at Georgia State, enabling each university to bring something quite different to the table. In contrast to PIT-UN projects that focus on curriculum or degree program development, we chose to focus on building research capacity. The partnership between Georgia Tech and Georgia State was fundamental to the structure of our project.
