Deadline: June 23, 2007

The purpose of this announcement is to report the availability of funds for Head Start Graduate Student Research Grants to support research activities in partnership with Head Start programs. Thus, the goals of the Head Start Graduate Student Research Grant program can be summarized as follows: Provide direct support for graduate students as a way of encouraging the conduct of research with Head Start populations, thus contributing to the knowledge base about the best approaches for delivering services to diverse, low-income families and their children; Promote mentor-student relationships that support students' graduate training and professional development as young researchers engaged in policy-relevant, applied research; Emphasize the importance of developing true working research partnerships with Head Start programs and other relevant entities within the community, thereby fostering skills necessary to build a student's trajectory of successful partnership-building and contributions to the scientific community; and Support active communication, networking and collaboration among graduate students, their mentors and other prominent researchers in the field, both during their graduate training, as well as into the early stages of their research careers.
