SRCD 2022 Call for Applications
Towards 2044: Horowitz Early Career Scholar Program
Application Deadline: Tuesday, March 1^st at 11:59 PM EST
The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) is accepting scholar and mentor applications for its Towards 2044: Horowitz Early Career Scholar Program.
The Towards 2044: Horowitz Early Career Scholar Program provides educational and professional development for scholars, giving them a launching point for a career in the field of child development. The Towards 2044 initiative was originally developed in 1999 as The Frances Degan Horowitz Millennium Scholars Program, to encourage and support scholars from under-represented ethnic/racial groups from North America in pursuing graduate work in developmental science.
The program offers:
* Mentorship to the selected scholars from more advanced researchers in the field who provide them with guidance and support in their pursuit of educational and professional goals;
* Registration fee waiver to the 2023 SRCD Biennial meeting;
* Mentorship service experience for individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and disciplinary groups; and
* Valuable exposure to the field for underrepresented scholars, allowing them to interact not only with their mentors, but also with other scholars and professionals.

SRCD Call for Letters of Intent
Child Development Special Section: Highlighting Indigenous Child Development
LOI Deadline: Tuesday, May 12^th
Society for Research in Child Development's (SRCD) Child Development ([link removed]) invites manuscripts for a Special Section on Highlighting Indigenous Child Development: Edges and Possibilities in State-of-the-Art Research ([link removed]) . The Special Section Co-Editors are Adam J. Hoffman (Cornell University), Ashley B. Cole (Oklahoma State University), Megan Bang (Northwestern University), Charissa S. L. Cheah (University of Maryland, Baltimore County), and Glenn I. Roisman (in his role as Editor-in-Chief of Child Development).
Papers that are of interest for this Special Section will feature empirical research (i.e., quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods) that highlights these diverse contexts and the implications that they have for developmental processes among Indigenous children and youth.
SRCD invites manuscript submissions that examine development from across the full range of child development (including but not limited to biological, cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and psychological development). In particular, SRCD will seek manuscript submissions that emphasize identifying and understanding cultural and strengths-based factors (e.g., Indigenous ways of knowing, ethnic-racial identity or socialization, and cultural traditions) that Indigenous children, youth, and families may cultivate and leverage to promote positive healthy development.
