The specific requirements and focus of a PE Fellowship can vary depending on the funding organization or institution offering it. However, generally, these fellowships provide:
* Funding: Support for a defined period (typically 1-3 years) covering salary, research expenses, and possibly travel.
* Mentorship: Guidance from established researchers in PER.
* Research Opportunities: Access to resources and collaborations to conduct impactful research in physics education.
* Professional Development: Opportunities to present research at conferences and workshops, build a professional network within the PER community, and develop teaching skills.
The goal of a PE Fellowship is to train the next generation of PER scholars who can contribute to the improvement of physics education at all levels, from K-12 to graduate school. Many institutions and organizations, such as the American Physical Society (APS), offer or support such fellowships.
