Description
The Evalyn Edwards Milman BCTR Faculty Fellowship is designed to support tenured or tenure-track faculty within Cornell University’s College of Human Ecology who have an active research program and a clear plan for engaging in translational research. The fellowship emphasizes not only advancing the fellow’s own research, but also contributing to the growth and development of the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research (BCTR). Preference is given to researchers focused on the needs of younger children across diverse fields such as cognitive development, nutrition, psychology, design, economics, sociology, and public health. Research related to medicine, including vaccine research, is specifically excluded. Selection is made by the BCTR director, in consultation with the faculty member’s department chair and the dean of Cornell Human Ecology.
