The Small Grants Program, where early career scholars can receive non-renewable grants of up to $7,500 (USD), is one of the SRCD offerings which reflect its commitment to supporting the scholarship of tomorrow’s leaders and building the future of developmental science.

SRCD and the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development (ISSBD) were recently awarded 200,000 Swiss Francs from the Jacobs Foundation to support initiatives related to mentoring early career scholars from Ghana and Colombia in the areas of grant writing, research methodology, peer reviewing, and scholarly publishing.

This new suite of policy trainings and programs will give SRCD members unprecedented new ways to improve evidence-based policymaking. Learn more about each part of the hub: Child Policy Connect, Child Policy Trainings, Child Policy Briefs, Child Policy Toolkit, and Science Advocacy.

The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) publishes three journals, as well as the Social Policy Report. SRCD members receive full digital access to all three journals as a benefit of membership.
