About the Quattrone Center:

The Quattrone Center is a research and policy hub housed at the Law School. The interdisciplinary Center brings together faculty from across the University of Pennsylvania and the nation, collaborating with criminal justice practitioners in an interdisciplinary approach to reduce errors in the administration of justice. The Quattrone Center has rapidly established itself as a thought leader on issues pertaining to the reduction of errors in criminal justice and is the chief proponent for blending law and scientific research (both social science and new technology) in a "systems approach" to improving the criminal justice system. The Center applies techniques from healthcare, aviation, and other industries focused on safety, quality control, reliability, etc. in ways that unify participants in the criminal justice system to implement, evaluate, and expand best practices in the administration of justice.

This is a full-time commitment and fellows are expected to be in residence at the Law School for the duration of the fellowship. Fellows receive a full year of funding and are eligible for renewal for an additional year. Fellows are expected to produce at least one original academic work during each year of funding.
