Research Grant Competition
Jumpstart, a national non-profit early education organization, provides small grants ranging between US$7,500 and $10,000 for promising research that addresses significant questions on the processes and impact of Jumpstart for early language and literacy development and social emotional development. The intent of such grants is to provide researchers with the opportunity to investigate the influence of Jumpstart (1) on the lives of young children who live in low-income and high-stress communities, and (2) on adult volunteers who implement the Jumpstart program. Up to three grants will be awarded each year.
Funded studies may be carried out using any research method or approach as long as the focus of the project is on examining the Jumpstart program. Priority will be given to applications that use rigorous research designs and methodologies.
