The Schubert Research Fellows program, launched in the Spring of 2021, was initially a collaboration between the Schubert Center and the Emerging Scholars Program (ESP). Schubert Center Research Fellows gain valuable research experience and mentorship by working with one of the Schubert Center's Faculty and Schubert Associates on child or adolescent research. Experiences may include data collection, coding, literature reviews, and preparation of research materials. Students are accepted into the program through a competitive application process.
The goals of the Schubert Research Fellows program are:
- To provide students with a meaningful research experience that builds their professional research skills strengthens their engagement with university scholars, and expands their network of academic mentors.
- To assist Schubert Center Associates by underwriting the cost of student research assistants.
- To intentionally strengthen the graduate school/professional pipeline by providing students with marginalized identities opportunities for career exploration and networking and to support them financially with paid research experience.
- To create a model for other centers/offices on campuses to develop their own "laboratory" working experiences for students.
