Creating connections among early childhood research, practice and policy — and how each can enhance the lives of young children and their families — provided the central theme of the 2024 CYFS Early Childhood Research Summit.
Almost 200 attendees, including researchers from across the University of Nebraska system, practitioners, administrators, community partners and policymakers, gathered April 23 at Nebraska Innovation Campus for the daylong, seventh biennial summit, which highlighted the latest research to advance early childhood education and development, and implications for practice and policy.
The Nebraska Academy for Methodology, Analytics and Psychometrics (MAP Academy) is awarding $5,000 through a competitive funding opportunity created to address the increased need to enhance the rigor of field-based human subjects research at the University of Nebraska. These awards were made possible by a grant from the Nebraska Research Initiative.
Time is running out to register for the seventh biennial CYFS Early Childhood Research Summit, April 23 at the Nebraska Innovation Campus Conference Center.
Registration is open through Monday, March 25.
Presented by CYFS in partnership with the Nebraska Academy for Early Childhood Research, the summit aims to communicate cutting-edge early childhood findings from University of Nebraska–affiliated researchers and colleague; link ongoing efforts in early childhood research, practice and policy; and advance the science of early childhood education and development via connections among community partners, key stakeholders, policymakers, early childhood practitioners and researchers.
Nearly 28 million children in the U.S. experience childhood adversity — neglect, parental substance abuse, mental illness, racism and bias.
Such hardships cause significant stress to children at crucial stages in their development, putting them at risk for academic difficulties and health and behavioral issues — all of which have consequences into adulthood.
A new funding opportunity is available to support faculty engaged in field-based human subjects research.
The MAP Academy invites interdisciplinary faculty across all campuses to submit proposals for the Applied Analytics and Data Infrastructure (AADI) Catalyst Program — an initiative to support the rigor of high-quality, field-based human research at the University of Nebraska. This program is made possible through a grant from the Nebraska Research Initiative.
Carrie Clark, associate professor of educational psychology, and Amanda Prokasky, senior research specialist at the MAP Academy, led the final presentation of the Fall 2023 Methodology Applications Series Dec. 8.
Video is now available of Clark and Prokasky’s presentation, “Capturing Life in Motion: Leveraging Wearable Technology for Human Subjects Research.”
To effectively share and communicate research across broad audiences relies not only on solid data, but also on eye-catching presentations
The Nov. 15 virtual NAECR Knowledge event focused on Canva, a free online graphic design tool that can be used to create presentations, flyers, social media graphics and more, and how to effectively use it to support and promote research through the development of high-quality, accessible materials.
