Support Staff Development at ISR
Staff are at the heart of the important work conducted at the Institute for Social Research (ISR) each day. They enable our research faculty to focus on ISR's mission of conducting the best social science research to benefit society.
The Laurie Staples Professional Development Fund supports the education and development of staff at ISR by providing financial awards to pursue meaningful training opportunities. It honors late SRC Administrator, Laurie Staples, who was a great advocate for staff continuing their education.
Please note: Gifts to endowed funds will be administered as permanent endowment under Michigan law and University policies; excess distributions may be added to the principal for reinvestment or used later for the purpose(s) for which the fund was established.
