The Center for Social & Behavioral Science and Institute of Government and Public Affairs are excited to announce the new fellowship program. This program will create a bridge between research experts and the public by enabling mid-career faculty across the Illinois System to conduct year-long policy research projects with Illinois government partners. PEPP fellows will form a cohort, participating in trainings on topics such as the policy research lifecycle and policy communication, as well as networking and collaborative work.
PEPP plans to welcome four fellows for the pilot year (AY25-26). The program is open to faculty with an existing policy research partner in regional, state, or tribal government in the state of Illinois. While the program welcomes policy research across all domains, two of the fellowships are supported in part by the Kellner Center for Neurogenomics, Behavior, and Society to facilitate policy research directly or indirectly related to mental health.
