The goal of the Survey School Fellowship is to build capacity in research that uses survey methodology. The Fellowship includes opportunities for:

• Learning about survey research methodology and best practices in questionnaire item design
• Deliberate practice in developing research questions and relevant survey items 
• Mentorship to support Fellows in developing competence in survey methodology

By the end of the Fellowship, each Fellow will have created a research proposal that uses survey methodology, including a set of questionnaire items designed according to best practices.

The Fellowship takes place over one full year, with three in-person educational sessions. These sessions are held in conjunction with the NAPCRG and STFM annual meetings, as follows:

• Session 1 at NAPCRG (Fall)
• Session 2 at STFM (Spring)
• Session 3 at NAPCRG (Following Fall)
