The Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration is a research center at Penn Law focused on preventing errors in the US criminal justice system. With affiliated faculty from across the University, the Center takes an interdisciplinary, data-driven, “systems approach” to understanding the most crucial problems in the criminal justice system and proposing solutions. The Quattrone Center is now accepting proposals to fund faculty research projects that would contribute to the Center’s mission to prevent errors and otherwise improve the US criminal justice system. Funding through the program can be used to support faculty time, research assistants or other support staff, data acquisition costs and other research-related costs. A short (three-page) written proposal and budget are required; proposals will go through an internal peer review process and the Center will begin reviewing and funding proposals in July. Links to more information about the grant program and how to apply can be found at Quattrone Center Grants for Penn Faculty.

The program is open to Penn faculty. For inquiries regarding this program, please contact the academic director of the Quattrone Center, Paul Heaton at pheaton@law.upenn.edu
