Congratulations! Doctoral student Christian Porter is the recipient of the Dissertation Award from the Institute for Research on Poverty’s Professional Development Training Series on Poverty and Economic Mobility Research.
The training is designed to increase researchers’ (1) interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of policy-relevant research contexts including the policymaking processes in federal agencies that administer human services programs; (2) ability to communicate with policy and public audiences effectively; (3) ability to work with affected communities in research development and dissemination; and (4) knowledge about research career paths outside of academia.
Porter has also recently had a paper, A Scoping Review of the Peer-Reviewed Research on Alternative First Response for Mental and Behavioral Health Crisis and Homelessness, published (along with co-authors Emily Leickly and Liat Kriegel) in the Community Mental Health Journal. Read here.
