The Doris Duke Fellowships Equity Study assessed how staff members, national advisory board members, academic and policy mentors, and Doris Duke Fellows experienced diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) during their participation in the Doris Duke Fellowships for the Promotion of Child Well-Being. The study also identified future strategies for the newly established Child Well-Being Research Network (CWRN). Established in 2010, the fellowships focused on two core ideas--that learning is best accomplished in interdisciplinary groups and that carefully crafted research can improve public policy and practice. Over 10 years, the program engaged 120 fellows from diverse disciplines in a peer learning network that fostered interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration while promoting actionable research. This research brief looks forward and highlights recommendations for how the Network can embody and promote DEI.
