This grant is for the purpose of funding a cooperative agreement to establish the Child Development Research Fellowship Program, led by a Professional Membership Organization. This program aims to expose child development professionals from the national academic research community to policy research, particularly at the federal level, that is relevant to programs serving low-income children and families. Fellows will gain critical skills and expertise in policy-relevant research and evaluation, informing their process of developing long-term, policy-relevant research and evaluation agendas. This initiative will ultimately increase the public availability of highly skilled and experienced researchers. Fellows engage full-time for a period of one year, with potential extensions, and will actively partner with the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE).

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Administration for Children and Families – OPRE |
| Description: | The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is funding a cooperative agreement to sponsor the Child Development Research Fellowship that gives child development professionals from across the national academic research community the opportunity to experience policy research relevant to programs serving low-income children and families. This award is for an organization to lead the Child Development Research Fellowship Program. The organization must be a Professional Membership Organization for researchers who can support the Child Development Research Fellowship Program. A Professional Membership Organization aims to support individuals professionally and aid them in progressing within their career/profession. The goal of the fellowship program is to expose researchers to policy environments, particularly at the federal level, whereby they gain skills and expertise for policy-relevant research. The program is intended to stimulate the fellows’ knowledge of child development research and evaluation, particularly regarding services for low-income children and families, and to inform their process of developing long-term, policy-relevant research and evaluation agendas. The public will benefit from the increased availability of researchers highly skilled and experienced in policy and program relevant research and evaluation. Fellows will engage on a full-time basis for a period of 1 year (with a possible second or third year at the discretion of the award recipient and depending on funding availability). Fellows will be exposed to the broader child development policy environment, particularly at the federal level, and to the policy research community through activities organized and conducted by the award recipient. Fellows will learn extensively about ACF and our programs that serve young children and their families. The cooperative agreement will require active partnership between the successful applicant and Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE).For more information about OPRE, see http://www.acf.hhs.gov/opre .
