SRCD Accepting Applications for 2026-2027 Policy Fellowship Program

The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD), a COSSA governing member, is now accepting applications for its 2026-2027 Policy Fellowship. The fellowship provides the opportunity for post-doctoral experts in child development to work in Congress or a state agency for a 1–2-year time period. Fellows will receive a competitive stipend and be granted access to professional networking opportunities and resources. SRCD is currently looking for applicants who have earned a doctoral-level degree, are SRCD members, and have experience working in child development.

The application process involves a written section, an interview, and subsequent matching (for Congressional placement). Interested applicants can apply here. The deadline is January 6, 2026.
