Kristin Foringer

Kristin Foringer is joining the Weidenbaum team as a Research Development Associate to help expand and strengthen our external research grant portfolio. She will collaborate with faculty to facilitate large-scale grant proposals and especially to promote interdisciplinary research teams across Economics, Political Science, and Sociology. Some specific initiatives will include expanding access to grant opportunities and supporting faculty applicants with everything from "big picture" strategy to proposal editing support. Kristin comes to us from the University of Michigan where she completed her PhD in Sociology focused on human rights and transitional justice. Her personal grant experience includes awards from the National Science Foundation, Minerva Research Initiative, and U.S. Institute of Peace, and her solo-authored work has been published in Comparative Studies in Society and History.
