How participants are selected

Selection will consider motivation and fit, potential to benefit, the relevance of the problem or project proposed, potential contribution to the cohort, and the geographic, institutional, disciplinary and career-stage diversity of the group.

Requests for travel support will be reviewed separately from the primary selection assessment so that financial need does not disadvantage an applicant in the main selection process.
