The inaugural class of the Buffett Early Childhood Institute Graduate Scholars Program presented its research at a symposium in Omaha recently. <\/p>\n

The 2016-17 class, University of Nebraska doctoral students Jon Cavanaugh (UNO), Abbey Gregg (UNMC), and Amanda Moen (UNL), along with their faculty mentors, shared their findings and described the implications for the early childhood field. <\/p>\n

Gregg, of Omaha, is a student in health services research and administration in the UNMC College of Public Health. She is investigating how school-based health centers can deliver primary medical care to children from low-income families. <\/p>\n

Her faculty mentor is Li-Wu Chen, Ph.D., director of the Center for Health Policy Analysis and Rural Health Research, co-director of the Nebraska Public Health Practice-Based Research Center and professor and chair of the UNMC Department of Health Services Research and Administration in the College of Public Health. <\/p>\n

The Buffett Scholars Program awards one- or two-year fellowships worth up to $25,000 annually to a maximum of four doctoral students. The overriding goal of the program, which was launched last year, is to increase the diversity and skills of young scholars conducting research about children from birth through age 8 and their families. <\/p>\n

The 2017-18 Buffett Scholars Awards will be announced next month. <\/p>\n
