I also find it plausible that the top 1-5 scholars are responsible for most of the impact, and we want to investigate this to a greater extent. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to evaluate the impact of a scholar’s research and career trajectory until more like 3-12 months after the program, so we decided to separate that analysis from the retrospective of the summer 2023 program.
We’ve begun collecting this type of information (for past cohorts) via alumni surveys and other sources and hope to have another report out in the next few months that closer tracks the impact that we expect MATS to have.
