The Center for Social & Behavioral Science and Institute of Government and Public Affairs are excited to announce the second year of the fellowship program in 2026-27. This program creates 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 form a cohort, participating in trainings on topics such as the policy research lifecycle and policy communication, as well as networking and collaborative work.
The PEPP application will open on February 1, 2026. A virtual info session will be held on January 28 at 1pm.
Register for the info session. Please register for the info session if you would like to receive the recording.
