2009 SRCD Biennial Meeting
Call for Applications - NCRECE Research Mentoring Program for Minority Scholars
The National Center for Research on Early Childhood Education (NCRECE) is sponsoring a fellowship program in 2009-2010 for research training and publication for up to five teaching or research faculty or postdoctoral researchers from underrepresented groups. The focus of the program is on secondary analysis of existing data sets that can be used to address issues of importance in the field of education, applied developmental psychology, child development, and related fields, with an emphasis on early childhood education. One of the Center's current foci of research is English language learning (available data sets include a large number of Spanish-speaking English Language learners); therefore, we especially encourage applicants with interests in that area.
The NCRECE fellowship program will provide mentoring experiences in writing articles for publication from large-scale, national samples data sets on early childhood education. The available data sets are: NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development and NCEDL SWEEP. In addition the fellowship will provide for travel to the 2010 AERA meeting and a small stipend of $12000 to cover research expenses.

This fully funded 8-week program will introduce students from under-represented groups to ongoing research occurring at UVa and will give them experience to help make them qualified candidates for doctorate programs in education research. Interns will work with faculty on ongoing research focusing on schools, classrooms, and other youth settings as contexts critical to child and adolescent development. They will have the opportunity to collect and analyze data, write a section of a research paper, participate in research meetings, attend a research conference, and participate in related workshops and a GRE prep course.
