The GMAF pilot program, which initially focused on Ukrainian faculty, is expanding to bring Palestinian research fellows, known as “GMAF fellows,” to MIT. For each year of the pilot, MIT will select up to 5 Palestinian fellows, currently either in Palestine or recently displaced from Palestine. They will each spend a semester at MIT. The research fellow will be paired with an MIT faculty advisor in their field, who will act as collaborator and academic mentor. MIT covers expenses including travel, accommodations, visas, health insurance, instructional materials, as well as a general living stipend. The first GMAF-Palestine fellow arrived at MIT in September 2025. Mahmoud I.
