(9/26/07) SRCD Fellowships in Public Policy

Policy Fellowships with the Society for Research in Child Development
will
be available for 2008-09. The deadline for applications is December 15,
2007.

SRCD Policy Fellows - in both Congressional and Executive Branch
placements
- work as "resident scholars" at the interface of science and
policy. The
goals of these fellowships are: (1) to contribute to the effective
use of
scientific knowledge in developing public policy, (2) to educate the
scientific community about the formation of public policy, and (3) to
establish a more effective liaison between developmental scientists
and the
federal policy-making mechanisms.

SRCD Fellows participate with other scientific societies in the
fellowship
programs of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS).
Since 1978, SRCD has recruited more than 125 fellows.

Both early and mid-career doctoral level professionals of all scientific
disciplines related to child development are encouraged to apply.
