IRE on Campus training

2022-23 Application

Application process:

• Deadline to apply is March 31, 2022.
• This application should be filled out once per school. It can be filled out by anyone at the school, ideally the person who would serve as the program liaison with IRE.
• You can apply for either the 2022 or 2023 cohorts (or both if your schedule is flexible). We are doing this to provide as much lead time as possible on your end and ours.
• Once IRE reviews applications, we will decide on finalists and schedule brief interviews with each school liaison to learn more about your training needs and how the campus visits could benefit your school.
• Selected schools would be notified in early May and to begin the process of discussing potential visit dates.
