Faculty Affiliates

The Center's multidisciplinary faculty affiliate network is comprised of University of Chicago scholars from the Harris School of Public Policy Studies, Chicago Booth, the School of Social Service Administration, Chapin Hall, and the departments of Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Comparative Human Development, Medicine, Pediatrics, and Health Studies. Our faculty affiliates represent the core of our intellectual community and play an important role in influencing the Center's agenda. The Center provides faculty affiliates, as well as their students, with funding opportunities and support for disseminating research findings to the local and national research and policy communities.
