Description
ACF
is funding a cooperative agreement to sponsor the Child Development Research
Fellowship that gives child development professionals from the academic
research community the opportunity to experience policy research relevant to
programs serving low income children and families. The goal of the fellowship
program is to expose researchers to policy environments, particularly at the
federal level, whereby they gain skills and expertise for policy-relevant
research. The program is intended to stimulate the fellows’ knowledge of child
development research and evaluation, particularly regarding services for low
income children and families, and to inform their process of developing
long-term, policy-relevant research and evaluation agendas. The public will
benefit from the increased availability of researchers highly skilled and
experienced in policy- and program-relevant research and evaluation. Fellows
will engage on a full-time basis for a period of one year (with a possible
second or third year at the discretion of the grantee and depending on funding
availability). Fellows will be exposed to the broader child development policy
environment, particularly at the federal level, and to the policy research
community through activities organized and conducted by the grantee. The
cooperative agreement will require active partnership between the successful
applicant and OPRE.
