» The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill Postdoctoral Research Training Program in the Education Sciences promotes the professional development of research scientists who will significantly contribute to early childhood education and related fields. The training program is housed in the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute. Fellows work with faculty on one or more of 14 grant-funded studies: (1) evaluations of large samples of a variety of early childhood education settings, usually involving random selection of classrooms and children, and methods including classroom observations and child assessments, and (2) studies of professional development using random assignment to educational or quality enhancement interventions.
