Schubert Research and Presentation Award (RAPA)

This year, the Schubert Center launched a new Research and Academic Program Award (RAPA) to support graduate students engaged in child- and youth-focused research. This award is funded by the Cora Unger Brisky Endowment Fund and is designed to advance the Center’s mission by fostering academic inquiry that bridges research, practice, and policy. RAPA provides funding for graduate students to deepen their child-focused research, engage with community partners, and share their work through academic or public forums. By supporting graduate-level scholars, the Schubert Center continues to invest in the next generation of leaders committed to improving the well-being of children and adolescents.
