>research units: the Criminal Justice Research Center, the Center for
>Human Resource Research, the Center for Urban and Regional Analysis,
>and the Initiative in Population Research. Fellows may also have the
>opportunity to participate in the activities of the Kirwan Institute
>for Race and Ethnicity, a multidisciplinary center founded jointly
