Access to Infant and Toddler Care and Education: Research and Evaluation

2024 - 2027

Project Overview

The Access to Infant and Toddler Care and Education: Research and Evaluation awards provide funding to address key research and evaluation questions related to care and education access for infants and toddlers at the national, state, or local level. 

The goals of these awards are to: 

  • Answer key questions to inform policy, program administration, and future research related to infant and toddler care and education access.
  • Encourage active communication, networking, and collaboration among those studying access to infant and toddler care and education.

These awards support descriptive research studies to document current access, shifts in access over time, or the characteristics of specific policies, practices, or other efforts that may be affecting access. They also support, and evaluations to explore the implementation or effects of specific policies, practices, or other efforts that may be affecting access.

The points of contact are Jenessa Malin and Tutrang Nguyen.
