Informational Webinar: Integrated Research & Policy Fellowship Program

This webinar will provide a program overview and describe the application process for the Integrated Research and Policy Fellowship program at the National Early Care and Education (ECE) Workforce Center.

The National ECE Workforce Center is recruiting two research fellows and two policy fellows for the first year of our Integrated Research and Policy Fellowship. The 10-month, part-time program is designed to achieve two primary goals: (1) to support the leadership development of individual ECE professionals, and (2) to help emerging leaders build their expertise about the ECE workforce while gaining skills to effectively bridge research and policy/practice. To facilitate participation, participants will receive a stipend of $12,500.

Candidates applying for the research track must be enrolled in graduate school (master’s or doctoral) at the time of the application and through at least December of 2024, in the field of early care and education (ECE), education or public policy, labor/employment, or a closely related field. Candidates applying for the policy track must be currently employed as early educators or employed in an organization working on early care and education, education or public policy, labor/employment, or a closely related field.
