The UCLA Center for American Politics and Public Policy is committed to promoting significant research on American politics and public policy, to developing programs that educate students about our nation's political and governmental processes, and to providing ideas, scholarship, and knowledge to policy makers and other interested publics in California and the nation.

As part of its research commitment, CAPPP supports a Faculty Research Fellowship program. Fellowships are awarded for an academic year to assist UCLA faculty in initiating, conducting, or completing research focusing on politics and/or public policy in the United States. A Graduate Teaching Assistantship is also awarded each year to a student with an interest in working with CAPPP's research seminar in Washington, DC.

CAPPP also sponsors occasional speakers on topics related to the Center's mission. There is also a full speakers program at the UC Washington Center. If you would like to be notified of upcoming events, please email info@cappp.ucla.edu and put the word "Speakers" in the subject header.
