Jennifer Brown Urban, Ph.D.
SRCD Fellow
Dr. Urban is a Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD)/ American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) Fellow. Dr. Urban received her doctorate in Human Development at Cornell University and her Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Child Development at Tufts University. At Cornell, her research examined how involvement in youth development programs and other out-of-school activities differentially affects the developmental trajectories of youth living in resource rich versus resource poor neighborhoods. Dr. Urban's second line of research focuses on the effective integration of research, practice, and policy specifically through program evaluation and planning. This research is funded through the National Science Foundation and applies systems thinking and evolutionary concepts to the development of evaluation systems in the context of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. After her fellowship year, Dr. Urban will begin her appointment as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Child Studies at Montclair State University.
