Running from October through July, the Institute includes skill-building seminars, best practice reviews, and field visits during six separate sessions across the 13-state ARC region followed by a capstone graduation event held in Washington, DC. The program is limited to 40 Fellows, and the application deadline is June 1. For more information and the application, click here.
