Inivitation
to Submit Applications
The Rural Poverty Research Center is a multidisciplinary
community of rural poverty scholars seeking to understand
the causes of poverty across the rural-urban continuum and
the effects of public policies to reduce poverty. The RPRC
is seeking to expand this community by building our network
of RPRC Research Affiliates.
Research Affiliates are established and young scholars
who are selected based on their potential to contribute
to the development and implementation of a rural poverty
research agenda in the coming decade. While some have a
long history of demonstrated capacity for poverty research,
all have a current commitment to research that is relevant
to understanding the causes and consequences of rural poverty
and the impacts of public policy. Most research affiliates
are faculty members or senior researchers from universities
and research institutions, representing a range of disciplines
including, but not limited to, economics, sociology, anthropology,
and public policy.
The RPRC is accepting applications from rural
poverty scholars interested in affiliating with this community
of rural poverty researchers. Individuals selected as research
affiliates of the RPRC will be invited to participate in selected
Center events including conferences and symposia. Affiliates
are invited to submit their research for possible inclusion
in the RPRC Working Paper Series.
Interested researchers can submit an application to become
a Research Affiliate to Rural Poverty Research Center, Program
Coordinator, Oregon State University, 213 Ballard Extension
Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331; or to rprc@oregonstate.edu.
Applications must include your current vita; a brief statement
of your interest in becoming a research affiliate (including
a summary of your current rural poverty research and an
indication of how you expect your affiliation to be mutually
beneficial to you and RPRC); and a sample of your recent
rural poverty research.
Guidelines
for submitting Working Papers
The Rural Poverty Research Center makes available working
papers on rural poverty in the United States.
Papers examine the causes and consequences of poverty in rural
areas and the factors affecting the success of policies to
improve the self-sufficiency and well-being of low income
workers and families in rural America. Working Papers are
made available to the larger research community to bring attention
to new research before it is available in journals or other
final outlets and to allow those interested to provide feedback
to the authors while the papers are under review for eventual
publication. Working Papers are screened but not peer reviewed
before being made available.
-
We welcome Working Paper submissions
from RPRC Research Council Members, RPRC Research Affiliates,
and other researchers. We encourage submission of papers
presented at RPRC-sponsored events, such as conferences
and symposia.
-
Papers submitted for inclusion in the
Working Paper series should relate to the mission and
goals of the Rural Poverty Research Center.
-
Papers submitted for the Working Paper
series will be reviewed by a senior RPRC researcher
prior to acceptance into the series. Papers will be
reviewed to ensure that they provide an original analysis
or research-oriented synthesis related to our research
agenda and goals and that they are complete and ready
for wider dissemination.
-
Inclusion of a paper in the RPRC Working
Paper series does not constitute publication and should
not limit publication in any other venue. It also does
not limit inclusion in other working paper series.
Submission Instructions
All Working Papers should be submitted by email in Word
format to Jennifer
Sattem. Papers should include a title page with contact
information for the author(s) and an abstract. The RPRC
will post all papers online in PDF format. The RPRC will
contact authors when papers have been posted. Titles and
abstracts of new working papers will be announced publicly
via quarterly email updates.

Working Paper Series, please contact us at rprc@oregonstate.edu.
