Postdoctoral Training


JGCP also has a long history of providing research training to postdoctoral fellows that has helped individuals become research leaders in early intervention. Since 1983, funding from the US Department of Education (Institute of Educational Sciences (IES) and Office of Special Education Programs) has allowed us to provide support and mentorship to 71 post-doctoral scholars. Many of these past scholars are currently senior special education and early childhood special education researchers at major universities and have directed IES, NIH, and OSEP research centers, institutes, and projects.
