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
in the processes of the United States, 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 Research Fellowship is also awarded each year. Graduate fellows
work on their own projects and assist with faculty research.
CAPPP sponsors an annual Speakers Series on a topic of general interest
to scholars and the public in the area of American politics and public
policy. In addition, faculty research fellows organize speakers focused
on topics related to their individual research projects.
All awards are made competitively on the basis of applications solicited
each year from faculty and graduate students across the campus.
Decisions are made by the Center's Advisory Committee.
