National Research Service Award (NRSA) for research on the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development.  National Research Service Awards (NRSA’s) are mechanisms for postgraduate training available through the National Institute of Health.  The NIH awards NRSA Individual Postdoctoral Fellowships (F32) and Senior Fellow Service Awards (F33) fellowships to promising applicants with the potential to become productive, independent investigators in fields related to the mission of the NIH constituent institutes and centers (i.e. NICHD). Researchers from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development are eager to sponsor applicants for NRSA fellowships, and they encourage eligible junior and senior investigators to apply for these fellowships through NIH. An NRSA recipient working under the sponsorship of one or more investigators of the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development can participate in the Early Child Care Research Network. Recipients will help to design and carry out research projects using longitudinal data following children from birth to adolescence, and including measures of physical, social, cognitive and personality development as well as family, child care, school, and neighborhood contexts. Specific areas of training will depend on the applicant’s interests and selected study sponsors. Fellowships will be administered in accordance with the current NRSA policy guidelines for individual awards and institutional grants. For more information, see the NIH Website at http://grants1.nih.gov/training. Written and telephone inquiries concerning NRSA applications are encouraged, especially during the planning phase of the application. For general questions concerning the application, individuals should address questions to NIH directly.
