The Schubert Center promotes and brings visibility to research in various areas connected to child welfare, education, family economics, environmental and health disparities, and juvenile justice. By uplifting the work of our Faculty Associates and collaborating with public agencies, non-profits and other community organizations, we bring these critical areas to the forefront. We make vital connections through community engagement and coalition-building efforts to pursue research consistent with our Center’s mission.
One of the primary goals of Schubert Center initiatives are to bridge at least two of our four areas (research, practice, policy, & education) in every project in which we participate. This principle guides the projects we pursue and is an integral component of our current research initiatives.
Faculty Associates
Researchers at CWRU who are engaged in child-related studies meet regularly as a campus-wide consortium of Schubert Center Faculty Associates. This group is particularly interested in bridging research with practice and policy to improve child well-being in the greater Cleveland community and to create knowledge and approaches that are generalizable to a larger population of children.
Research Opportunities
In addition to the research that the Schubert Center team conducts, we offer various funding opportunities for the CWRU community. Faculty Seed Grants support proposals on emergent and critical issues. The Freedheim Graduate Student Fellowship is awarded annually to full-time graduate students in Psychology pursuing a PhD on a child-related topic that bridges research, practice and policy. We also recognize undergraduate students whose research focuses on children or adolescence with an annual prize during the Intersections Research Showcase.
