Since 2003, The Center for 性闻联播 on Families has offered the groundbreaking Family 性闻联播 Scholars Program since 2003. This year-long interdisciplinary seminar for faculty in various stages of research provides the opportunity for peer mentorship and national expert consultation in order to prepare a large grant proposal.
Six faculty members in various stages in their research were chosen to participate in this year-long interdisciplinary research support program. The program serves to build lasting and productive connections among researchers of varying disciplines by providing concrete skills for successful grant submission, peer and faculty feedback on their developing proposals, individualized methodology consultation with CRF faculty and renown experts, and guidance on funding sources.
The seventeenth cohort of the Family 性闻联播 Scholars Program were selected based on their promising work in family-related research. The 2020-21 cohort represents a wide range of disciplines and research interests, including scholars from three schools and colleges across campus鈥擡ngineering; Natural Sciences; and Public Health and Health Sciences in the departments of biology; civil and environmental health sciences; environmental engineering; health policy and management; and psychological and brain sciences.
The Family 性闻联播 Scholars Programs serves as the cornerstone of how the center carries out its fundamental mission of 鈥渁dvancing research for the health and well-being of all families.鈥
