Deadline: March 31, 2022
The Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska is currently accepting applications from advanced doctoral students representing diverse fields within the university system for one-year fellowships worth up to $25,000.
The Buffett Early Childhood Institute Graduate Scholars program will award to up to three fellowships to advanced students who are preparing or completing their doctoral dissertations during the 2022-23 academic year. Our goal is to support high-quality research that impacts the early years of life, drawn from diverse fields including health, education, social work, music, art, psychology, the neurosciences, and more.
Consistent with the mission of the Institute, we encourage applicants to consider how their work can impact and transform early development over time. Multidisciplinary research and new methodologies are welcomed.
To increase the diversity of perspectives in research on young children, the Buffett Institute encourages applications from a diverse group of researchers in terms of race, ethnicity, and gender. We are especially interested in research projects led by Black or African American, Indigenous, Latinx, and/or Asian or Pacific Islander American researchers. International students are also welcome to apply. Get an overview of the Graduate Scholars program.
Completed applications are due Thursday, March 31, 2022, and 2022-23 fellowship recipients will be notified by the end of June.
