At the culmination of the fellowship, fellows are expected to complete a final project that can be disseminated at a national level. Fellowship recipients will be expected to deliver a lecture about their fellowship research in the SARUP Lecture Series, disseminate research through peer-reviewed journals, conferences and other written media, and exhibit related work in SARUP's gallery."

Fellows spend two years in residence, typically teaching three classes in their first year and four in their second, in addition to pursuing their fellowship project. Public dissemination of fellowship work takes place in the fall of the second year."
