The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) invites submissions for the 2019 Biennial Meeting in Baltimore, MD, from March 21 - 23. Preconference events will be held on Wednesday, March 20, 2019. SRCD’s 2019 Program Committee, led by Co-Chairs Silvia H. Koller (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul) and Jennifer E. Lansford (Duke University), worked hard to create a program that reflects SRCD’s commitment to interdisciplinary research, diversity, and an international perspective. Empirical, theoretical, historical, methodological, policy, application, and translational submissions from investigators around the globe in all disciplines related to the field of child development are welcomed. The Society encourages submissions from researchers at all career stages including graduate and undergraduate students.
