William T. Grant Distinguished Fellows
The William T. Grant Distinguished Fellows Program is designed to increase the supply of, demand for, and use of high-quality research in the service of improved youth outcomes. To accomplish this goal, the program gives influential mid-career researchers the opportunity to immerse themselves in practice or policy settings and conversely gives influential practitioners and policymakers the opportunity to work in research settings.
Deadline
We are currently reviewing the Distinguished Fellows program, its application procedures, and dates for letters of inquiry. Updates will be available in early 2012.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for consideration, applicants must:
- Be influential mid-career practitioners, policymakers, or researchers (see the Application Guide for definitions of terms);
