Qiaobing Wu earns National Science Foundation grant
Student is the first from USC School of Social Work to get NSF support.
February 20, 2008
The National Science Foundation’s Division of Social and Economic Sciences has awarded Qiaobing Wu, a Ph.D. candidate at the USC School of Social Work, a $7,500 doctoral dissertation research improvement grant, making her the school’s first doctoral student to receive funding from this source.
The foundation awards grants to doctoral students to improve the quality of dissertation research and provide funds for items not normally available through the student’s university. In addition, these grants allow students to conduct significant data-gathering projects and field research in settings away from their campuses, an important factor for Wu, who plans to carry out her research in China.
Wu’s dissertation research focuses on the psychosocial adjustment of Chinese migrant children. Specifically, she plans to identify the mechanism by which social capital – embedded in the family, peer, school and community – affects the children’s psychosocial adjustment.
