Foundation for Child Development Accepting Applications for Young Scholars Program
Deadline: November 1, 2004

The Foundation for Child Development is providing fellowships through the Changing Faces of America’s Children – Young Scholars Program. This work is a special component of the New American Children Program (<a href="http://www.fcd-us.org/ourwork/n-index.html">http://www.fcd-us.org/ourwork/n-index.html</a>).

The fellowship supports young scholars with their research in identifying and understanding the challenges faced by immigrant children and their families.

The FCD Young Scholars Program’s goals are to:
* Stimulate both basic and policy-relevant research about the early education, health, and well-being of immigrant children from birth to age ten, particularly those who are living in low-income families.

* Support young investigators — from a variety of behavioral and social sciences or in an allied professional field — to attain tenure or who have received tenure in the last four years from a college or university in the United States.

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 will be awarded.

See the Foundation for Child Development Web site for complete program details and application procedures.
