In the second phase, Williamson will lead the team in testing findings from Cleveland through a national survey.<\/p>\n<p>The study also will draw on the expertise of researchers at Brown University, Case Western Reserve University School of Law, Cleveland State, Syracuse University, the University of South Florida, and the Sisters of Charity Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abigail Fisher Williamson, Trinity College assistant professor of political science and public policy and law,\u00a0is a co-investigator on a research study that was awarded a $699,960 grant from the\u00a0Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
