The Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska is accepting applications from advanced doctoral students representing diverse fields within the university system for 1-year fellowships worth up to $25,000.
The Buffett Early Childhood Institute Graduate Scholars program is awarding fellowships for up to three doctoral students for the 2021-22 year. The program seeks to support high-quality research that impacts the early years from diverse fields including health, education, social work, music, art, psychology, the neurosciences, and others. Multidisciplinary research and new methodologies are encouraged.
Research from various academic disciplines has important implications for children, families, and communities. Consistent with the mission of the Institute, we encourage applicants to consider how their work can transform the lives of young children and families.
To increase the diversity of perspectives in research on young children, the Buffett Institute encourages applications from scholars from historically disadvantaged or underrepresented groups, including individuals of color, first-generation college graduates, and individuals from low-income communities.
Full applications from applicants for 2021-22 are due Wednesday, March 31, 2021. Fellowship recipients will be notified by the end of June. View the request for proposals and previous graduate scholars.
