About SIL's Programs

A vital component of our work at Stanford Impact Labs is the professional development programs we run for Stanford faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and PhD students who are keen to design or advance impact-focused research.

Our programs support scholars by focusing on the resources and skills necessary to marry vital social science research with broader public impact. They are grounded in two key commitments:

• Preparing scholars to work closely with collaborators across the public, private, and social sectors to generate evidence and insights that can be put into practice
• Building a culture across research institutions that embraces a focus on tangible and scalable insights that address pressing social challenges.
