Chapin Hall’s fellowships equip future leaders to improve the lives of youth, children, and families by connecting evidence to action. We offer several fellowships of varying lengths with a focus on emerging research and policy experts who are focused on addressing these important issues.
Doris Duke Fellowship for the Promotion of Child Well-Being
Thanks to the generous support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago is pleased to offer the Doris Duke Fellowships for the Promotion of Child Well-Being. Established in 2010, the program has since selected 120 fellows from diverse disciplines and locations to develop a new generation of scholars whose work will enhance child development and improve the nation’s ability to prevent all forms of child maltreatment. The program is built around two core ideas: that learning is best accomplished in interdisciplinary, collaborative settings and that carefully crafted research can improve public policy and practice.
The publication The Power of Connections: Creating a Network of Emerging Scholars to Spark Innovation provides an overview of the program, the status of the Doris Duke fellows, and the growing strength of the fellowships network.
