The National Early Care & Education Workforce Center is now accepting applications for the second cohort of the National ECE Workforce Center’s Integrated Research & Policy Fellowship Program! This program supports fellows in developing leadership skills and building their expertise about the ECE workforce while gaining skills to effectively bridge research and policy/practice.
There are two tracks, each with two fellows. Candidates for the research track are currently enrolled graduate students in fields related to ECE, while policy track applicants are current professionals such as early educators or others active in the ECE sector.
The program, which runs from February 2025-January 2026, includes 15-20 hours per month of program activities and a $12,500 stipend—allowing employed individuals to continue their employment and students to maintain full-time status. The selection committee will use the National ECE Workforce Center’s guiding principle of disrupting historical patterns of exclusion in the ECE field to prioritize candidates.
