Grant Scholars Class of 2030 Message-ID: CONGRATULATIONS TO Ericka Weathers (2022 Fellow) and Kelly Harris (2022 Fellow) selected for the William T. Grant Scholars Class of 2030 [Ericka smiles, leaning up against the windows of Penn GSE on a sunny spring afternoon.] Ericka Weathers Division of Policy, Organizations, Leadership, and Systems Graduate School of Education University of Pennsylvania [cid:image002.jpg@01DBC329.1E7AC780] Kelly Harris Department of Occupational Therapy Washington University in St. Louis Assistant Professors Ericka Weathers and Kelly Harris are two of the five early-career researchers who have been selected for the new class of William T. Grant Scholars. Launched in 1982, the Scholars Program supports the professional development of promising early-career researchers. To date, the program has sponsored more than 200 talented researchers. Scholars will also have opportunities to further their research and professional development through annual retreats and workshops with fellow Scholars, Foundation staff, and other senior researchers. For Weathers, whose Scholars project on institutional responses to truancy will stretch her knowledge of critical methods, "being exposed to more critical communities that can help inform my knowledge in this area, working with my mentors, and having the William T. Grant Scholars network, [will] all be really helpful," she said. "Having that network is going to be key, where I can not only receive support, but also be of support to a community of scholars who are working to achieve similar goals [of] reducing racial inequality along different topic areas and research questions. Recognizing that early-career researchers are rarely offered support to take measured risks in their work, the award also includes funding for mentorship from experts in areas pertinent to Scholars' development. "One of the most exciting components of this award, to me, is that [it] encourages the development of new relationships, strengthening newer relationships [and] deepening them," said Harris, who will receive guidance from her mentors Adam Wilcox at Washington University in St. Louis and Tamara Perry at the Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute. "This is an opportunity to work both with someone who is at my institution, who has this expertise of informatics ... [and] develop a relationship with someone outside of my institution who has wonderful expertise working with youth with asthma."
