Field Projects integrates theory and practice by providing graduate students with the opportunity to work on real-world challenges with government, nonprofit, community, and private sector partners. Attached is a brief description of the Field Projects program
and what to expect as a project host. To submit a project idea, <b>please email a brief (half-page) description by Friday, September 6, 2024</b> to Kate Davies at
<a href="mailto:Kathryn.Davies@tufts.edu" id="OWA95df190b-4d42-df18-75d2-8eeca6bfa255" class="OWAAutoLink" data-linkindex="2" style="margin: 0px;">
Kathryn.Davies@tufts.edu</a>. After we review these project ideas, we will select 12-15 organizations with whom we will work more intensively to develop full project proposals by the end of October. Even if you have submitted a proposal in the past that was
not selected, or have been a project host in the past, please consider proposing again!<br>
<br>
Please note that we ask all project hosts to make a contribution to support project expenses -- $150-250 depending on the resources of the host organization.<br>
<br>
We look forward to reviewing your project ideas! Please contact Kate Davies at <a href="mailto:Kathryn.Davies@tufts.edu" id="OWAa3f0602b-2225-b0e1-f2a9-edaae6237268" class="OWAAutoLink" data-linkindex="3" style="margin: 0px;">
