Applications are Open for Doris Duke Fellowships for the Promotion of Child Well-Being that are offered by Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago through the generous support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
These fellowships are designed to identify and develop a new generation of leaders interested in and capable of creating practice and policy initiatives that will enhance child development and improve the nation’s ability to prevent all forms of child maltreatment.
Because the promotion of child well-being and the prevention of child maltreatment require knowledge and collaboration from diverse fields, the program is multidisciplinary in scope and approach. Fellows are selected from a range of academic disciplines, including—-but not limited to—-child development, education, epidemiology, medicine, nursing, psychology, public health, public policy, social work, and sociology. Fellows’ dissertations must be focused on an aspect of child well-being and the prevention of child maltreatment.
Benefits
- Each fellow receives an annual stipend of $30,000 for up to two years to support the completion of their dissertation and related research at their academic institution.
- Fellows are guided by an academic mentor, whom they select; fellows also identify a policy or practice mentor to assist them in better understanding how to frame their research questions with an eye toward maximizing policy and practice relevance.
Eligibility Criteria
- Fellows must be enrolled in a doctoral program at an accredited United States academic institution.
- Fellows must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States and must be authorized to work in the United States.
- Fellows are selected from an open, competitive national application process each year; 15 fellowships are awarded annually.
