Assessment Findings have found MLA’s Research Training Institute (RTI) Fellowship Program is highly effective in increasing the level of research knowledge, confidence, and productivity of participants while addressing key MLA core values.

Here’s what other RTI Fellows have said about their experience:

  • “Participating in the RTI has been like getting a mini-PhD.”
  • “Excellent instructors, curriculum content, and course readings.”
  • “RTI has helped me approach my research ideas from a place of empowerment instead of apprehension.”
  • “I now feel confident in my ability to forge forth with a project I’m passionate about.”
  • “One of the most productive and professional fulfilling milestones of my career.”

Applications for the 2024-25 RTI Fellowship are due February 19, 2024.
