Subject: Funding Opportunity

To Members of NBER's Children's Program,
Here is a funding opportunity that may be of interest...
The Foundation for Child Development is inviting applications for its
2004 Changing Faces of Americas Children - Young Scholars Program,
designed to support a new generation of early career scholars.
These fellowships aim to stimulate fundamental and policy-relevant
research on issues affecting the development, early education, and health
needs of immigrant children. The fellowship supports young scholars
in identifying and understanding the challenges faced by immigrant
children and their families. Proposals may include research designs
for an empirical study, pilot work for a larger scale research project
that will seek funding from other public and private funders, or analysis
of data previously collected.
Fellowship recipients are expected to produce a book or article(s)
suitable for publication, and to articulate how their research may
potentially inform policies regarding young newcomer children.
The grant is intended to buy-outteaching time and to underwrite
research costs, including research assistance and travel to study
sites.
Eligibility requirements: a doctoral degree within the past 10 years
prior to June 30, 2003 (for MDs, five years from completion of
residency); a position as a full-time, tenure-track faculty member in a
U.S. college or university; and a degree in the behavioral, social
sciences or allied professional field (e.g., public health, social work,
public policy, education, nursing, medicine).
The maximum amount of funding to be awarded is $150,000 (inclusive of
overhead which is limited to 15% of direct costs) and may be used for
research expenses and salaries. The funds are to be used over a minimum
period of one year and a maximum of three years. There is no limit
on the number of applications from any single institution.
Completed proposals must be submitted to the foundation on or before
October 1, 2003.
