The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University and the Novak Djokovic Foundationlaunched the Djokovic Science and Innovation Fellowship in an effort to contribute science-based innovation in early childhood development. The fellowship will build the capacity of emerging leaders to conduct cutting-edge research, translate and communicate research into policy and practice, and create and test new strategies that drive the early childhood field forward.

This one-year fellowship will provide advanced doctoral students with a stipend in support of independent research that aligns with the Center’s mission, which is to drive science-based innovation to achieve breakthrough outcomes for children facing adversity. The shared goal between the Center and the Foundation is to produce a new generation of leaders in the early childhood field.

All Harvard University doctoral students whose independent research aligns with the mission of the Center are eligible to apply. Visit our Fellowships page for more information. Applications are due on Friday, December 16, 2016, by 5:00 p.m. (EST).
