"I am absolutely thrilled to receive the Levin Award, as it represents not only a significant boost to my career but also a powerful affirmation of my commitment to advancing developmental science to be more rigorous, culturally relevant, and actionable."

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.

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.

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.
