Call for Arnold Ventures Criminal Justice Innovation Fellowship 2024 is open now!!!
The Arnold Ventures Criminal Justice Innovation Fellowships will support five post-doctoral fellows who are pursuing policy-relevant causal research designed to innovate and evaluate cost-effective and scalable policy solutions that advance the efficacy and equity of criminal justice practices.
To secure more effective and equitable criminal justice practices, they need to innovate and evaluate new policy solutions that can be adopted by local, state, and federal policymakers.
Fellowships will begin in September 2024 and will be available for periods of up to three years. Fellows will be expected to conduct research relevant to criminal justice practices in the United States and will be required to devote up to 25% of their time to work on Arnold Ventures research projects.
The Social Science Research Council, a nonpartisan nonprofit founded in 1923 by seven professional associations in the social and behavioral sciences, mobilizes policy-relevant social and behavioral science for the public good.
For 100 years the Social Science Research Council has mobilized the research, policy, and philanthropic communities in the search for workable solutions to pressing societal challenges. They have learned much about policies that can support shared peace and prosperity, but there is still much that they do not know.
Today, new tools and methods offer new opportunities for policy-relevant and socially useful social and behavioral science. The Council is uniquely positioned to unite the research, policy, and philanthropic communities in the search for interventions and policies that can better support human well-being on a global scale. As the Council enters a new century, this work is more important than ever.
