Congratulations to Christina Cross, who was one of two scholars across the nation awarded the Institute for Research on Poverty’s (IRP) Emerging Poverty Scholars Fellowship.

The fellowship supports the career development of scholars by enhancing the resources available to them, providing high-quality mentoring from renowned senior poverty scholars, and fostering interaction among a diverse set of scholars in order to broaden the corps of U.S. poverty researchers. This fellowship is provided with generous funding from the JPB Foundation.
