It could be good if someone wrote an overview of the growing number of fellowships and scholarships in EA (and maybe also other forms of professional EA work). It could include the kind of info given above, and maybe draw inspiration from Larks' overviews of the AI Alignment landscape. I don't think I have seen anything quite like that, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm hoping this tag could be useful for people who are considering running or participating in a research training program, or people who definitely will and want to get some insights into how best to do so.
Examples of such programs which I'm aware of include FHI and CLR's Summer Research Fellowships, CEA's former Summer Research Fellowship, GPI's Early Career Conference Programme (probably), FHI's Research Scholars Program (probably), the Open Phil AI Fellowship (maybe), and - if it happens - Rethink Priorities' planned intern program (see here).
I'm unsure what the best scope and name for this tag could be. In particular, should it:
include only things shorter than ~6 months, or also longer things that are still training-ish (e.g., FHI's 2 year Research Scholars Program)?
include scholarships for relatively junior researchers which have no other program elements attached?
include posts relevant to any research training program, or only those run by EA orgs, or only those related to in EA cause areas?
expand to include non-research internship/training programs as well?
expand to include the fellowships that some EA university groups run?
