The Foundation for Child Development: Changing Faces of America’s Children - Young Scholars Program's goals are to:
- Stimulate basic and policy-relevant research about the early education, health and well-being of immigrant children from birth to age 10, particularly those who are living in low-income families. - Support the career development of young investigators—from the behavioral and social sciences or in an allied professional field—to attain tenure or who have received tenure in the last four years from a college or university in the United States. Eligible researchers will have earned their doctoral degrees within the last 15 years, and be full-time, faculty members of an institution in the United States. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or its equivalent in one of the behavioral and social sciences or in an allied professional field (e.g., public policy, public health, education, social work, nursing, medicine). Three to four fellowships of up to $150,000 for use over one to three years (and in rare cases, up to five years) will be awarded. Please note tenure equivalent positions are not eligible for the fellowship. The deadline is November 2, 2011.

Have you recently taught a course on “Childhood and Youth”? Are you updating your syllabus? Have you just read a very interesting book or seen a new documentary relevant to childhood and youth? Do you want to help fellow C&Y scholars? If so, we would like for you to participate in this call for materials.
What can you share? Some examples of what we would like to receive are: - Syllabi - Names of books, articles, movies or documentaries that are well received by your students - Classroom exercises and group activities that have been particularly effective - Class projects The fine print: the C&Y Publication Committee will organize this information and will make it available to the C&Y section members through the Newsletter and/or the website. Of course, we will acknowledge your contributions. Please send your materials and or questions to Elizabeth Vaquera at [email protected]. Looking forward to hearing from many of you!
