Description
The Language Learning Early Career Research Grant Program provides competitive research funding for early career scholars conducting innovative studies in the language sciences. The program is designed to foster research that aligns with the mission and scope of the Language Learning journal, with a strong emphasis on open science practices and the potential to lead to larger, externally funded projects. Up to three awards of up to $10,000 each are made annually, supporting projects that demonstrate scientific merit and innovation as judged by peer review.
Awardees are expected to make their data and materials openly accessible through repositories like IRIS or the Open Science Framework, unless a justified exception is provided. Interim and final reports are required, and the journal assumes first right of refusal for manuscripts arising from funded research.
