Which term describes the final deliverable produced or expected from a fellowship project?

• A. Compute Budget
• B. Public Output
• C. Reference Check
• D. FTE / Full-Time Offer

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is identifying the term that best names the final deliverable a fellowship project is expected to produce and share publicly. Public Output fits this role because it emphasizes the tangible product of the work that is intended to be shared with the wider community—things like a research paper, dataset, software artifact, or a final report. It signals not just what is produced, but that it is meant for public access and dissemination, reflecting the project’s impact and usefulness.

The other options describe things that are unrelated to the final product. A compute budget is about the resources needed for the work, not the deliverable itself. A reference check is a step in evaluating candidates or partners, not an outcome of the project. FTE / Full-Time Offer relates to employment terms, not what the project yields.
