This document contains the instructions for preparing a valid 2024--2025 Bloomberg Data Science Ph.D. Fellowship Application research proposal. This document conforms to its own specifications and is an example of what your proposal should look like.
The abstract should briefly describe the proposal and make the case for the proposal to non-experts in your particular field. The rest of the proposal should be directed at a technical data science audience.
\textbf{Collaborators}: list the names and affiliations of expected collaborators on the project here

\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Formatting}
The formatting instructions are directed to applicants for the 2024--2025 Bloomberg Data Science Ph.D. Fellowship Application. All applicants are required to adhere to the formatting specifications described in this document. These specifications were created with the intent of providing an equitable format and ensure that applications are similar in length and format.
Applicants should adhere to all the formatting instructions described in this document. \textbf{Failure to do so will result in the Fellowship application not being reviewed.} In particular, the should be no changes to page size, spacing, margins and font size as to what is specified in this document.
Proposals must be in two-column format, with the exception of the title, applicant name and abstract, which must be centered at the top of the first page, and any full-width figures or tables.
Applicants are required to provide a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their proposal in the SoftConf application website (\url{https://www.softconf.com/n/Bloomberg2024/}), together with the CV and the referee names. \textbf{The Fellowship proposal should be no more than two pages of content for PhD Fellowship applications, plus unlimited pages for references.}
All figures and tables that are part of the proposal should fit the page limit. A sample figure is presented in Figure~\ref{fig:fig1}. A sample table that includes how to cite references is presented in Table~\ref{tbl:tbl1}. We do not allow for submission of additional material such as appendices and supplementary materials like data or code.
