MLA’s RTI Fellowship Program transforms its participants into researchers who can independently conduct or lead quality research projects. The unique year-long virtual RTI training covers all the stages of designing, implementing, and communicating a successful health information research project.

Benefits of the RTI Fellowship Program:

  • Recognition for the professional achievement of successfully completing a competitive and intensive yearlong fellowship in advanced research methods and hands-on research experience.
  • A marketable set of skills. Through the RTI Fellowship Program, you’ll learn how to develop effective research questions, select a research design, identify the components of a research project, collect, manage, and analyze data, publish and present the results of a research project, and much more.
  • The knowledge to discuss research and scholarship with teaching faculty and researchers at your institution. You may even find yourself teaching research methods to faculty and students at your institution.
  • The skillset to confidently implement research ideas that transform your library and raise your professional profile.
  • The expertise needed to publish in peer-reviewed journals.

You won’t be alone on the RTI Fellowship Program journey. The program not only connects you with a mentor and small mentor group, but you’ll also learn from nationally renowned researchers alongside a cohort of 20+ other librarians. When you complete the Fellowship, you’ll receive CE credit hours and a well-deserved RTI Fellow Certificate and join a strong network of past RTI Fellows and researchers who can help you in making the next step.

Begin planning now to apply. The application will be open from November 18 to February 16, 2026. RTI Program leaders and instructors will offer application drop-in sessions throughout the application period. Stay tuned for dates and times.
