Philadelphia Fed Mentoring & Advancing PhDs (PFMAP) Program

24 Feb ’25

PFMAP is a program intended to introduce Ph.D. candidates to the vibrant research life at the Philadelphia Fed and provide additional mentorship opportunities for participants.

In the fall of 2023 and the fall of 2024, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia hosted PFMAP, a program to provide a week of interaction, feedback, and mentoring to a small group of advanced Ph.D. candidates.

PFMAP is a program intended to introduce Ph.D. candidates to the vibrant research life at the Philadelphia Fed and provide additional mentorship opportunities for participants. Participants will present, discuss, and receive feedback on research throughout the week. We will also match participants to mentors at the Philadelphia Fed and provide additional opportunities to network with researchers at and associated with the Philadelphia Fed.

We will post updates about this program on this page. We expect the application portal to open in late spring 2025 for the fall 2025 mentoring program.
