The NCRE II Student Scholars
program will provide opportunities for students interested in developmental
research (from birth through emerging adulthood) with Native communities
to: network and build relationships with
junior and senior faculty, other students, and funders whose work focuses on
Native children’s development; obtain mentorship and career guidance from
experienced researchers; and learn about current research with Native children
and adolescents.
Students who would benefit from
participation in the NCRE II Student Scholars Program include undergraduate,
graduate, and postdoctoral students who are involved or interested in research
on Native children’s development from a variety of disciplines across the
social and health sciences. Prior
research experience in Native child and adolescent development is not necessary.
NCRE II Student Scholars will
engage in a variety of activities that center around the NCRE II 2012
conference. Prior to
the NCRE II 2012 conference, students accepted into the NCRE II Student
Scholars program will be matched with senior researchers whose research aligns
with student interests.
NCRE II Student Scholars are
expected to attend the NCRE II 2012 conference which will be held October 3-5,
2012 at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora,
Colorado. Travel support will be
provided. Scholar activities at the conference
