CCI has been awarded a two-year grant from the Urban Equity Foundation to expand its Community Research Fellowship program. The funding will support six resident fellows who will work alongside CCI researchers to design studies, conduct fieldwork, and present findings to local policymakers.
About the fellowship
Fellows receive a stipend, training in research methods, and mentorship from senior staff. Projects will focus on housing stability, transit access, and barriers to public participation — priorities identified through our 2026 field survey.
