The Center on the Developing Child’s Djokovic Science and Innovation Fellowship supports the research of Harvard advanced doctoral students whose work is related to early childhood health, learning, and behavior. Selected fellows receive a stipend and join an active, interdisciplinary learning community for one academic year. The goal of the fellowship is to create a new generation of leaders who will drive innovation that impacts the early childhood field and the lives of children facing adversity. Students from the biological and social sciences (e.g., HMS, T.H. Chan, and GSAS) as well as Harvard’s professional schools (e.g., HKS, HLS, HBS, and HGSE) are eligible to apply.
Reducing the damaging effects of stress and adversity on early childhood development and adult caregiving;
