Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Innovation Fellowships support graduate students who show promise of leading their fields in important new directions. The fellowships are designed to intervene at the formative stage of dissertation development, before research and writing are advanced. The program seeks to expand the range of research methodologies, formats, and areas of inquiry traditionally considered suitable for the dissertation, with a particular focus on supporting scholars who can build a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable academy.

Through the PPIA Junior Summer Institute (JSI), a rigorous seven-week program held before their senior year, students gain a deeper understanding of current issues and trends, explore career opportunities in public service and global leadership, and acquire the academic skills necessary to excel in graduate education. 

The PPIA Fellowship aims to strengthen the leadership capacity of government and nonprofit organizations worldwide by encouraging a diverse cadre of leaders to pursue careers in public service. The fellowship is rooted in the belief that representation is essential to advancing a more just and equitable society. After completing the Junior Summer Institute, fellows join PPIA's robust Alumni Network– a community of over 5,000 accomplished professionals dedicated to public service. Fellows are also invited to participate in the annual Public Service Expo, providing further opportunities for professional growth and networking.

The State University of New York (SUNY) has created a Comprehensive College Consortium to fund late-stage pre-doctoral (ABD) and post-doctoral students interested in exploring academic careers. The consortium represents a collaboration among all SUNY comprehensive sector campuses. The initiative creates a more robust pathway into the academy for historically under-represented minority faculty and women in STEM fields. The PRODiG Fellowship Initiative is a model program designed to raise the pace of degree completion and build a more robust pipeline to the professoriate. Personalized mentoring is a key component of the program to develop fellows' pedagogical readiness for future faculty appointments in addition to support for their scholarship and research.

SUNY is committed to improving the quality of mental health care for all of New York State’s residents, and has invested in advancing goals that address the needs of individuals who have been historically underserved with respect to quality mental health care services. The Office of Mental Health, in partnership with the SUNY Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and SUNY schools, have created the SUNY/OMH Mental Health Scholarship Pipeline Program, a seamless pipeline that will attract, retain, and graduate students trained in the various mental health professions and who demonstrate the potential for positively affecting the quality of mental health care for all New York State residents, with a focus on service to those individuals who may have historically lacked quality mental health care.
