Dear Colleagues,
The multidisciplinary Sherman Center for Early Learning in Urban Communities (Sherman Center) invites proposals for the 2019-20 Sherman Center Faculty Research Award. This award seeks to expand knowledge about policies and practices that enhance the learning of young children, ages three through eight, in urban communities like Baltimore. Research topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- evaluation of new or existing school-based and out-of-school time learning interventions;
- school, teacher, family, and community factors associated with academic growth, socio-emotional well-being, and/or positive behavioral outcomes for young children; and
- the impact of school policies on family and community engagement in students’ learning processes and outcomes.Â
For the AY18-19 competition, the proposal deadline is January 24, 2020. The full request for proposals is posted here. Please contact Professor Mavis Sanders at msanders@umbc.edu with any questions.
