Foundation for Child Development Young Scholars Program
Completed proposals must be received in the Foundation for Child Development’s office on or before Wednesday, November 3, 2010. The deadline is firm. No email or fax submissions will be accepted.
The goals of the FCD Young Scholars Program are to:
* Stimulate both basic and policy-relevant research about the early education, health and well-being of children living in immigrant families from birth to age ten, particularly those who are living in low-income families.
* Support young investigators - from the behavioral and social sciences or in an allied professional field - who are untenured but in tenure-track positions or who have received tenure in the last four years from a college or university in the United States. No applications from full professors will be accepted.
Eligible researchers will have earned their doctoral degrees within the last 15 years, and be full-time, faculty members of a college or university in the United States. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or its equivalent in one of the behavioral and social sciences or in an allied professional field (e.g., public policy, public health, education, social work, nursing, medicine). Three to four fellowships of up to $150,000 for use over one to three years (maximum) will be awarded competitively. Please note individuals with tenure-equivalent positions are not eligible for the fellowship. Once selected, FCD Young Scholars must fulfill a number of requirements.
Proposals must be submitted by the deadline.
Due to the expected volume of calls, FCD staff will be unable to accept telephone inquiries. Please submit your question(s) via email to ysp@fcd-us.org.
