The Foundation is currently accepting proposals for its 2022 Young Scholars Program ([link removed]) . YSP supports scholarship for early-career researchers. The program funds implementation research that is policy- and practice-relevant, and that examines the preparation, competency, compensation, well-being, and ongoing professional learning of the early care and education workforce. Research awards are up to $225,000 for primary research and up to $180,000 for secondary data analysis.

Advancing Equity: Conducting Strengths-Based Research in Early Care & Education ([link removed])
Tuesday, May 11, 2021 | 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM EDT
Sign up for this webinar, presented by the Researchers Investigating Sociocultural Equity and Race (RISER) Network ([link removed]) , about utilizing a strengths-based research approach to promote equity within the early and education field.
The fundamental principle of a strengths-based approach is that every individual, family, and community has their own set of assets that should be considered within all aspects of research design. Such an approach celebrates the racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity of young children, their families, and communities. It seeks to understand how policies and systems might, inadvertently or intentionally, function as contributors to disparities and focuses on how to improve systems and policies. RISER researchers will present on ways to incorporate a strengths-based approach in research design, from developing research questions, identifying methods and measures, through data analysis and interpretation.
