We’re thrilled to welcome four graduating PhD students as part of our new Stanford Impact Labs Postdoctoral Fellowship Program: Malissa Alinor from the University of Georgia, Marbella Eboni Allen from Rice University, Max Hui Bai from the University of Minnesota, and Carlos Schmidt-Padilla from UC Berkeley. They are working with impact-focused research labs on campus to address racial and gender bias in the workplace, political polarization in the United States, and poverty and violence in Central America.
Stanford Impact Labs supports outstanding PhD students to build skills and community to support public impact careers. During the six-week summer program, they work to debunk the myth of “either/or”: either you can have meaningful community engagements and public impact or you can be a legitimate scholar. Partnerships Director Karina Kloos shares details of the 2021 fellowship.

Stanford Impact Labs is pleased to announce our third call for proposals for Impact Lab Start-Up Funding. These two-year, $250,000 per year, investments will be allocated on a competitive basis to new or existing teams that are working with external partners to put scientific insights to work for society.
At the close of the 2020-2021 Impact Lab Design Fellowship, nine faculty members shared their progress towards conceptualizing new impact labs. The fellowship focuses on use-inspired science that responds to the needs of government, civic, and community organizations. More than two dozen outside experts joined the presentations to provide feedback and advice on where to go next.
