I was trying to figure out whether someone who is just here for the month of November should apply. I think the answer is no,
Probably no.
but I am broadly a bit confused when this is a commitment for.
Yeah we haven’t totally settled this yet; the application form asks a lot of questions about availability. I think the simplest more specific answer is “you probably have to be available in January, and it would be cool if you were available earlier and wanted to get here earlier and do this for longer”.
Also, are people going through as cohorts or will they start with the training week whenever they show up, not necessarily in-sync with anyone else?
Not totally settled. We’ll probably have most people at a big final cohort in January, and we’ll try to have people who arrive earlier show up at synced times so that they can do the training week with others.
Also, is the idea to be doing self-directed research by default, or research in collaboration with Redwood staff by default? I don’t know what my default action is day-to-day during this program. Do I have to come in with a bunch of research plans already?
The default is to do research directed by Redwood staff. You do not need to come in with any research plans.
Thanks for the questions :)
