Organized by Lauren Krivo and Ruth Peterson and funded by the National Science Foundation and OSU, the institute is designed to promote successful tenure/careers among faculty from underrepresented groups working in areas of crime and criminal justice. Each participant will complete an ongoing project in preparation for journal submission or agency funding review. The Summer Research Institute will provide living and travel expenses for the duration of the workshop, and will culminate in a research symposium where participants present their completed research before a scholarly audience.

Completed applications must be postmarked by February 10, 2012. Please see our web site to apply (http://cjrc.osu.edu/rdcj-n/summerinstitute). Applicants must hold tenure-track positions in U.S. institutions and demonstrate how their participation broadens participation of underrepresented groups in crime and justice research.
