Application deadline: the deadline of November 1, 2007 has passed. Please consult the Website for the most up-to-date information. 

The FCD Young Scholars Program (YSP) focuses on understanding the changing faces of the nation’s children as reflected in the current demography of the United States. YSP seeks to support a new generation of scholars conducting research on the development of children in immigrant families from birth to age ten, particularly those who are living in low-income families. Given the limited research on young immigrant children, proposals focused on children from birth to age eight are highly encouraged.

The goals of this competitive award program are to:
1. Stimulate both basic and policy-relevant research in this area.
2. Support the career development of young investigators - from the 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.

Fellowship recipients are expected to produce a book or article(s) suitable for publication, and to articulate how their research may potentially inform public policies regarding young newcomer children.
