Karolina Dos Santos has received a 2020 ASA Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant for her project, “Wards of Action: Internal and International Migration to Newark, NJ”. In addition to the $16,000 award, she will receive a one-year membership to ASA as well as conference registration for the ASA Virtual Annual Meeting, August 6-10, 2021.

The Grants program supports theoretically grounded empirical investigations to advance understanding of fundamental social processes. Only 25 awards will be given each year. The two primary criteria for funding are intellectual merit and broader impact, according to the ASA.

Congratulations, Karolina!
