2012-2013 SCHOLARS & FELLOWS
IRRPP provides funding to UIC faculty members who conduct engaged and policy-relevant research on race and ethnicity. Faculty Fellows are awarded course releases. Faculty Scholars win grants that cover research costs. And Policy and Social Engagement Fellows work with Chicagoland partners on a community action project.
