We are thrilled to announce Valerie has been awarded both the Cultuurfondsbeurs from the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds (a major Dutch research foundation) and a Centennial Center Research Grant from APSA’s Centennial Center for Political Science and Public Affairs.

These two grants will support Valerie’s research, : “Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen?: Local Government and International Influence on Disaster Relief Outcomes”, on the ties between international development/humanitarian organizations and local governments and how varying relationships in this realm affect aid outcomes following natural disasters.

Please join us in congratulating Valerie for this wonderful and well-deserved recognition of her incredibly prescient research!
