On April 29th, undergraduate and graduate student participants presented their original research to a panel of judges made up of New York state leaders and policy experts who selected three winners. The FLIP Competition winners will be given an opportunity to work with Rockefeller Institute researchers to further develop their research and will receive $500 upon publication of their research with the Institute.
