Description
The PRRI Public Fellows Program is an 11-month, non-residential fellowship designed for mid-career, interdisciplinary scholars whose research explores the intersections of religion, culture, and politics in the United States. The program aims to help academics translate their work for public audiences, providing communications support, media training, and opportunities to place research in leading media outlets. Fellows receive training in op-ed writing, media engagement, and integrating public opinion survey data into their projects. The initiative fosters original, collaborative research among a diverse national cohort, encouraging cross-disciplinary exchange and public scholarship.
