ISSBD 2 x 2 Grant for Early Career Scholars

We are delighted to introduce the “2 x 2 Grant for Early Career Scholars” who are passionate about human development across the lifespan. This grant reflects ISSBD’s commitment to supporting early career developmental scholars of all backgrounds around the world.

The “2 x 2” element means that 2 Early Career Scholars located in 2 different countries or regions (ideally different continents and one applicant from a majority-world/under-represented country) must apply together. Preferably, the co-applicants should study different disciplines and show complementary research and methodological skills.

Eligibility

Each pair of applicants must be:

• ISSBD members are located in different countries or regions (ideally different continents and preferably at least one applicant from a majority-world/under-represented country).
• Have a mentor available.
• An active current doctoral or postdoctoral student at a college or university or within 7 years of being awarded a doctoral degree (time out for caring responsibilities or other commitments are considered).
• Proposed projects can cover any research study related to science that cares about a better understanding and/or promotion of human development and flourishing across the lifespan.
• A cross-cultural element may be included with a rationale for how incorporating diversity and/or data from two different cultures, regions, or perspectives contributed to the goals of the proposed research project.

Amount

Up to US$5,000 for 1 year (non-renewable). A maximum of 2 grants will be awarded.

Dates

Submission Due Date: October 31st, 2023; at 23.59 (GMT)
