Description
The Language Learning Early Career Research Grant Program provides competitive funding to support up to three early career researchers in the language sciences each year. The program seeks innovative research proposals that align with the mission and scope of the Language Learning journal, particularly those with the potential to lead to larger, externally funded projects. Funded projects are expected to adhere to open science practices, including making data and materials publicly accessible when possible. The grant is designed to provide rapid, targeted support for promising research by scholars who have completed their PhD within the past six years.
