Applied Research Fellowship: Info Session – 2/26, 11:00 a.m.

The Applied Research Fellowship Program is open for undergraduate and graduate students.

The Fellowship Program supports multidisciplinary teams of students to work on real-world population health challenges. The project is in collaboration with the City of Seattle. The team will consist of three graduate students and two undergraduates, with supervision by a faculty expert. The project team receives training in research skills and data collection, analysis, and presentation to deliver a work product that meets the external client’s needs.  The team will work closely with stakeholders at the City of Seattle to research strengths and future recommendations to support child-friendly cities. The team will combine descriptive and spatial data analysis to explore the volume and location of important daily amenities necessary for those with children – childcare facilities, transportation access, schools, laundromats, and so forth – with qualitative data collection via interviews with Seattle’s constituents to better understand the needs of children and their caregivers. This research will result in recommendations for areas of improvement in Seattle’s goal of being a child-friendly city and ways child-friendliness can be monitored as time goes on.

We are hosting an info session on February 26th from 11 a.m. -12 p.m. Please RSVP here.
