Congratulations to the RTI ’22 Fellows!

MLA is pleased to announce the 2022 Research Training Institute (RTI) fellows! The RTI ’22 online program is a successful, immersive research training program that provides advance research methods training and mentoring for one year while participants complete a research project. The RTI ’22 program consists of 34 participants, including 8 embedded LIS graduate students. The program will be taught by a team of experienced and expert research faculty with the mentoring support of 5 peer coaches who are former RTI Fellows. The RTI ’22 participants were chosen by a selective submission process with an emphasis on a desire to learn, enthusiasm for research, and the quality of their proposed research topics. Congratulations to the RTI ’22 fellows!
