About Me

Dr. Jeremy L. Hall joined the University of Texas at Dallas Public Affairs faculty in August, 2008. He serves the Graduate Programs of Public Affairs as Associate Professor and Assistant Program Head.

Dr. Hall completed his doctoral studies at the University of Kentucky Martin School of Public Administration. He also holds an MPA from the Martin School, and earned a Bachelor's degree in Music and Government from Centre College.

Dr. Hall serves on the editorial boards of Public Administration Review and Public Performance and Management Review. His research appears in key academic journals including: The Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Public Administration Review, American Review of Public Administration, Economic Development Quarterly, Public Performance and Management Review, Publius: The Journal of Federalism, Policy Studies Journal, the Journal of Public Affairs Education and others. His 2010 book (Grant Management: Funding for Public and Nonprofit Programs) is the first to examine grant writing and grant management from a Public Administration perspective. Hall's research focuses at the nexus of public sector performance, public policy processes, and intergovernmental relations, often addressing questions of economic development. Within this framework, Hall's research has examined the use of evidence-based practice in state agency policy decisions, the effect of capacity on federal grant distributions, and the shifting accountability structure brought about in fiscal federalism by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. He has developed and tested new measures of innovation capacity in the U.S. states, considering the effects of capacity on economic development and growth in the new economy. His research interests also include Public Policy Analysis, Public Sector Capacity, Public Organizational Performance, Best Practices, Local & Regional Economic Development, Rural Development, Innovation Policy, Science and Technology Policy, Intergovernmental Relations, and Fiscal Federalism.
