Jacobs Foundation Research Fellowship Program

OSP Deadline: January 11, 2024. Departments or areas may require additional time for proposal review and submission. Please discuss a timeline with your grants administrator.

Sponsor Deadline: January 21, 2024

Award Amount: 150,000 CHF (about $174,000)

 

The Jacobs Foundation Research Fellowship Program is a globally competitive fellowship program for researchers who have received their PhD within the past ten years and whose work is dedicated to improving the learning and development of children and youth worldwide. The relevant disciplines include, but are not limited to, education sciences, psychology, economics, sociology, behavioral science, computer science, pedagogy, linguistics, neurosciences, and science of learning.

 

Particularly encouraged to apply are scholars who seek to combine multiple levels of analysis and engage in interdisciplinary work. A special focus lies on work to understand and embrace variability in learning; promote the generation, transfer, and practical application of evidence on human learning and development or increase the capacity to scale up effective education policies and practices.

 

The Jacobs Foundation is especially interested in the following questions, which are aligned with their research agenda:

  • How do variations in individuals and contextual factors influence learning and development and learning outcomes?

  • How can we design for learner variability at scale to enable all children to reach their potential as learners and in life?

  • How can we produce interventions that reduce growing inequalities in children’s learning and overcome disparities in the impacts of digital technologies?

  • How can we address the role of data to help learners and teachers make informed decisions about their learning and teaching?

 

The first round of the application process focuses strongly on the alignment of research plans with the Jacobs Foundation’s goals. Selected applicants will be invited to submit a second-round extended proposal focusing more on details of the planned research for the fellowship period. 

 

Funding from Jacobs Foundation Research Fellowships is awarded directly to the fellow’s institution and may be used by the fellow over three years to cover a portion of the fellow’s salary and for any purpose in support of the fellow’s research, such as assistants’ salaries, equipment, technical assistance, professional travel, or trainee support.
