Sponsoring organizations contribute staff time to mentor and monitor the Fellow’s work, overhead expenses, and 20% of the Fellow’s salary and benefits. The Wyss Foundation provides host organizations a grant for programmatic support (project expenses and travel), and 80% of the Fellow’s salary and benefits. Host organizations are responsible for the selection and hiring of the Fellow.
