2021-22 Udall Center Fellowship Tracks
– Social Sciences and Public Policy –
In partnership with the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences (SBS)
For faculty from the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences for research in any aspect of public policy related to social or behavioral sciences. Research topics may span the range of public policy and need not relate to Udall Center activities.
– Biosciences and Public Policy –
A BIO5 Institute/Udall Center joint fellowship
For research on topics within the BIO5/Translational Bioscience strategic areas (Science, Agriculture, Engineering, Medicine, and Pharmacy) with appropriate public-policy inquiry concerning such realms as ethics, financing, legislation, governance, public dialogue, Indigenous issues, and other germane subjects. Expand your scientific team to include a policy dimension—or apply your policy expertise to a scientific project.
– Other Public Policy Research –
In partnership with Research, Innovation and Impact (RII)
