Fellowship and Mentoring Program on Law and Inequality

该奖项将支持美国律师基金会（ABF）的博士和博士后奖学金和指导计划。在三年的资助期内，ABF将为研究法律与不平等交叉领域跨学科课题的年轻学者提供两名两年制博士研究员和一名三年制博士后研究员。该项目提供必要的指导、网络和专业发展活动，帮助年轻学者在各自的职业道路上脱颖而出。该奖学金和指导项目将培养关于法律和不平等的前沿研究，并将支持培训和指导跨学科和学科部门研究法律和不平等的新兴学者。它旨在解决研究生教育的经济负担，以及对指导和网络的需求，这对初级学者的成功至关重要，而这在跨学科领域可能是如此难以捉摸。奖学金和指导计划将增强研究和研究人员的多样性，丰富科学研究和对法律和不平等的认识。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support a residential doctoral and postdoctoral fellowship and mentoring program at the American Bar Foundation (ABF). Over the three-year grant period, the ABF will award two two-year doctoral fellows and one three-year postdoctoral fellow to young scholars studying interdisciplinary topics at the intersection of law and inequality. This program offers the mentoring, networking, and professional development activities necessary to help young scholars excel in their respective career paths. This fellowship and mentoring program will cultivate cutting edge research on law and inequality and will support the training and mentoring of emerging scholars in interdisciplinary and disciplinary departments studying law and inequality. It is designed to address the financial burdens of graduate education and the need for mentoring and networking that are crucial for junior scholar success, and that can be so elusive in interdisciplinary fields. The fellowship and mentoring program will enhance the diversity of research and researchers and enrich the scientific study and knowledge of law and inequality.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
