Mitchell Center Receives $10,000 Grant from Fels Institute

Tuesday, May 22, 2018 - 1:00pm

The Fels Policy Research Initiative (FPRI) has generously awarded a $10,000 Collaborative Research Grant to the Mitchell Center to support the Mitchell Center's 2018-19 Speaker Series, “Democracy in Trouble?” FPRI seeks to increase the visibility and impact of Penn’s policy-relevant research through a variety of activities by supporting research and working groups, sponsoring events and seminars, and authoring op-eds.  Among FPRI’s priorities is support for research responding to the dramatic policy shifts following the 2016 election – which, in the case of “Democracy in Trouble?”, includes policies with serious implications for the practice of democratic governance itself.
