2025 Young Scholars Program Call for Proposals

The Foundation for Child Development is currently accepting proposals for its 2025 Young Scholars Program (YSP). YSP supports scholarship for early-career researchers. The program funds research projects that aim to clarify how, why, and for whom policies, programs, and practices support the early care and education (ECE) workforce and shape children’s early learning experiences and well-being in early childhood, defined as birth through age eight. Research awards are up to $225,000 for primary data collection and analysis and up to $180,000 for secondary data analysis.
 
Letter of Intent Deadline: Monday, June 3, 2024

As 2025 represents the culmination of the Foundation’s 10-year initiative focused on strengthening the capacity and status of the ECE workforce, the 2025 YSP application cycle is the final opportunity to select Young Scholars within these programmatic objectives

2025 YSP Call for Proposals
Who Should Apply?
YSP is an open competition. The Foundation is committed to diversity and equity in our work and through our grantees. To increase the diversity of research perspectives, the Foundation encourages applications from: 
  • Scholars who are from underrepresented groups that have historically experienced poverty, racism, xenophobia, prejudice, and discrimination. Such groups include, but are not limited to, researchers of color, first-generation college graduates, and researchers from low-income communities and/or immigrant families
  • Scholars who represent a variety of disciplines and methodological approaches
Principal Investigators must have received their terminal doctoral degree (e.g., Ph.D., Ed.D., Psy.D., J.D., M.D.) within 10 years of submitting their applications to the program. In medicine, the date of the completion of the first residency is used for this calculation.
