Project Examples
The SIA Fellowship Program is designed to train the next cohort of social innovation leaders while creating a knowledge base for social innovation and impact investing organizations. Fellows will produce high-quality reports commissioned by our partners, and participate in a social innovation training program.
Examples: What are the most effective water filtration technologies for sub-Saharan Africa? Is Housing First an effective strategy for reducing homelessness? What is the current state of solar panel battery storage technologies?
Our Fellows will work collaboratively over 4-week sprints to write reports to answer these questions
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
