Research Fellows and Affiliates

The Schroeder Center regularly provides funding and support for Â鶹Æƽâ°æ students to work directly with faculty conducting research related to health and health policy. The Schroeder Center takes an interdisciplinary approach to faculty-student collaborations, supporting projects in Public Policy, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Kinesiology, or any department where health-related research takes place. We aim to foster research collaborations through funding opportunities, data consultations, publicizing results, and by creating a campus community for student and faculty researchers interested in health topics. 

There are two ways students can participate: 

• Schroeder Research Fellow
  Schroeder Research Fellows receive funding to work either directly with the Schroeder Center or with an affiliated faculty member conducting health-related research. Fellows are selected through a rigorous competitive application process that typically takes place at the beginning of each semester. 
• Schroeder Research Affiliate
  Schroeder Research Affiliates work on an eligible research project but are not directly funded by the Schroeder Center. Research Affiliates are eligible for other forms of support, which can include data consultations and other research assistance.
