FCD’s Young Scholars Program (YSP) focuses on understanding the changing faces of the nation’s children as reflected in the current demography of the United States. YSP seeks to support a new generation of scholars conducting research on the development of children in immigrant families from birth to age ten, particularly those who are living in low-income families.
YSP’s goals are to: (1) fund basic and policy-relevant research in this area; (2) support the career development of young investigators from the behavioral and social sciences or in an allied professional field.
