Funded Projects

The Tufts University Center for Children (TUCC)/University College of Citizenship and Public Service (UCCPS) first annual Student Project Initiative was a huge success with students and faculty across Tufts' campuses. We received a number of excellent project proposals from undergraduate and graduate students, representing a range of disciplines from the Arts and Sciences (American Studies, Political Science, History, Child Development, UEP, Community Health), the School of Medicine, and the School of Nutrition.

The review panel included faculty, staff and a student from UCCPS, Eliot Pearson Department of Child Development, the medical school and TUCC. The projects that received funding are listed in the chart below, and were showcased in the April 28th poster session.
