PEP is a faculty-driven initiative to support colleagues who want to use their research to contribute to social change, inform public policy and enrich public debate. In this hour-long Zoom session, PEP Fellowship director Lisa Troy, associate professor in the School of Public Health and Health Sciences, and Julie Brigham-Grette, professor and graduate program director in geosciences, and Paul Collins Jr., professor of legal studies and political science, will discuss how to apply for the fellowship, the program’s selection criteria, and what fellows will learn from the program in order to effectively communicate their research with the public.

Interested faculty members can RSVP to the event via its Zoom registration page. Applications are currently being accepted for the 2023 Fellowship Program, with a deadline for submissions set for Tuesday, Nov. 29.
