With support from the May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, Inc., The Jack Rudin and Lewis Rudin Research Fellowship allowed graduate student researchers from the City University of New York to be trained in applied research methods and participate as members of the team at John Jay College’s Research and Evaluation Center (JohnJayREC).
Rudin Fellows participated in projects underway at JohnJayREC, particularly those involving work with government agencies and nonprofits from New York City. Staff members worked with students on projects to improve the operations and effectiveness of public safety agencies in New York City by generating and analyzing data about the effects of policies, programs, and crime reduction strategies. Fellows worked with Center staff to generate evaluation findings and create accessible, understandable reports.
Rudin Fellows specialized in fields such as social and behavioral science, social services and social welfare, public health, statistics, legal studies, or other fields related to the work of the Research and Evaluation Center. To be eligible for a fellowship, applicants were enrolled in a Masters or Doctoral program of study at a CUNY college.
Funding from the Rudin Foundations ended, but the Center continued pursuing the original mission and seeking additional resources to continue the initiative.
