Congratulations to the recipients of the 2024 Early Career Researchers (ECR) in Human Development, Child and Youth Health operating grants!
IHDCYH would like to congratulate the 18 recipients of the 2024 Early Career Researchers in Human Development, Child and Youth Health grants. The goal of this funding opportunity is to build research capacity, generate new knowledge, and support knowledge mobilization in human development, child and youth health by funding operating grants to early career researchers.
IHDCYH took some time to redesign this funding opportunity for 2024, including removing the requirement for matching funds in response to feedback from our community. The relaunched competition was competitive, with many more applications received than we anticipated. In response to the application pressure and in recognition of the excellent quality of the applications, IHDCYH increased the number of grants available from 12 to 18. Congratulations to the funded grantees!
