The Society for Research in Child Development is pleased to accept scholar and mentor applications for the Towards 2044: Horowitz Early Career Scholar Program.
The Towards 2044 initiative was originally developed in 1999 as The Frances Degan Horowitz Millennium Scholars Program, to encourage and support scholars from under-represented ethnic/racial groups from North America in pursuing graduate work in developmental science. With generous funding from the Wallace Foundation, the program has expanded from a one-day Biennial preconference event to a more extensive year-long program.
"Towards 2044" takes its name from the year when the adult population of the United States is estimated to become a diverse majority. SRCD is excited to support the professional development of a diverse group of researchers as we move towards this new period.
About the Program
