Section IV.2, Additional Eligibility Documentation, 5. Documentation of Approved Doctoral Dissertation Proposal was updated for the current funding year (i.e., 2018). The revised language states: "If the student does not have an approved dissertation proposal (or have this status) at the time of application, the application should include a statement of assurance that the proposed research plan will be approved prior to September 30, 2018 (i.e., when the funding for this program would begin)."The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) is soliciting applications for Child Care Research Scholars grants to support dissertation research on child care policy issues. These grants are meant to build capacity in the research field to focus research on questions that have direct implications for child care policy decision-making and program administration, and to foster mentoring relationships between faculty members and high-quality doctoral students.
