Emerging Scholars
In addition to our primary research activities, the Center has a set of mentoring and networking activities to strengthen and advance the next generation of emerging scholars in the field:
Fellowship Program for Early Care and Education Research Among Hispanic Populations
The Center’s Fellowship Program for Early Care and Education Research Among Hispanic Populations provides early career scholars studying early care and education (ECE) topics among Hispanic populations—including Hispanic children and families served by ECE and the Hispanic ECE workforce—the opportunity to participate in a 12-month program that provides seed research funds and valuable mentoring and professional development experiences.
Professional Development Grants
2024 Professional Development Grant for Emerging Scholars Studying Poverty and Economic Mobility among Latino Populations
This grant aims to support professional development activities that will enhance the professional growth of doctoral students and early career scholars whose research focuses on poverty and economic mobility among Latino populations.
Professional Development Grant for Early Career Faculty at Hispanic Serving Institutions/Emerging Hispanic Serving Institutions
This grant aims to support their professional development activities that will enhance professional growth as scholars and educators.
Research Scholars Program
Our Research Scholars Program funds emerging scholars, including those from historically underrepresented populations, to conduct research with Center investigators.
Mentoring and Networking Events
We host mentoring and networking events to facilitate discussions between emerging scholars and mentors on shared research interests, ideas for collaborations, and professional development.
Resources for Emerging Scholars
In addition to our Research Scholars Program and our mentoring and networking events, we provide virtual resources and activities to support emerging scholars.
2024 National Research Center on Poverty and Economic Mobility Early-Career Mentoring Institute
The Center supports three poverty and social mobility scholars who are in the early stages of their research careers, have the potential for leadership in supporting members of populations that are underrepresented among academic researchers, and focus on Hispanic population research to attend a weeklong convening, in Davis, California, where they will receive mentoring and career development opportunities.
