Description

The Developmental Sciences program supports basic research to increase understanding of perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and biological processes related to human development across the lifespan. It funds research addressing developmental processes in various domains and populations, including infants, children, adolescents, adults, and non-human animals. The program encourages multidisciplinary, multi-method, and longitudinal approaches and does not fund clinical trials or research focused primarily on health outcomes. Typical projects last about three years with budgets between $100,000 and $200,000 per year, and the program also considers proposals for workshops and small conferences.
