Society for Research in Child Development Fellowships in Public Policy

Web site: www.srcd.org/policyfellowships.html
Application deadline: the deadline of December 15, 2007 has passed

Policy Fellowships with the Society for Research in Child Development will be available for 2008-09.  The deadline for applications is December 15, 2007.

SRCD Policy Fellows - in both Congressional and Executive Branch placements - work as "resident scholars" at the interface of science and policy.  The goals of these fellowships are:  (1) to contribute to the effective use of scientific knowledge in developing public policy, (2) to educate the scientific community about the formation of public policy, and (3) to establish a more effective liaison between developmental scientists and the federal policy-making mechanisms. 

SRCD Fellows participate with other scientific societies in the fellowship programs of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).  Since 1978, SRCD has recruited more than 125 fellows.

Both early and mid-career doctoral level professionals of all scientific disciplines related to child development are encouraged to apply.  For more information and application instructions, please visit the Web site.
