Faculty Affiliates
Faculty Affiliates engage with child welfare researchers at the center and with community providers, showcase their work on the CWRC website, and deliver presentations at the center’s annual Child Welfare Symposium.
The call for Faculty Affiliates in 2025-2026 is closed. The new call for faculty affiliates in 2026-2027 will be open in August 2026. In August of 2026, any full-time faculty member (postdoctoral researchers included) at UTA is eligible to apply. We will select up to three faculty affiliates per year, and affiliates can re-apply each year. Affiliates will have opportunities to network with child welfare researchers in the center and providers in the community, to have their work highlighted on the CWRC website, and to present at the annual Child Welfare Symposium hosted by the center. In addition, affiliates are eligible to apply for a professional development award (one awarded per year) that will fund up to $2,500 of costs to present their work at a conference as a CWRC affiliate. Please reach out with any questions to Dr. Catherine LaBrenz, catherine.labrenz@uta.edu or cwrc@uta.edu.
