About the Organization

Our work is dedicated to giving every child a quality education. We believe this can only be achieved if education policy and practice are supported by evidence of what works best for children.

We therefore invest in the world’s premier research to discover how children learn, promote the use of evidence in teaching and learning, and support countries to shape and implement education policies based on evidence.

About the Fellowship

The Jacobs Foundation Research Fellowship Program is a globally competitive fellowship program for early and mid-career researchers whose work is dedicated to improving the learning and development of children and youth worldwide. The relevant disciplines include, but are not limited to, education sciences, psychology, economics, sociology, behavioral science, computer science, pedagogy, linguistics, neurosciences, and science of learning.

Particularly encouraged to apply are scholars who seek to combine multiple levels of analysis and engage in interdisciplinary work. A special focus lies on work to understand and embrace variability in learning; promote the generation, transfer, and practical application of evidence on human learning and development or increase the capacity to scale up effective education policies and practices.

The Jacobs Foundation is especially interested in the following questions, which are aligned with our research agenda:

• How do variations in individuals and contextual factors influence learning and development and learning outcomes?
• How can we design for learner variability at scale to enable all children to reach their potential as learners and in life?
• How can we produce interventions that reduce growing inequalities in children’s learning and overcome disparities in the impacts of digital technologies?
• How can we address the role of data to help learners and teachers make informed decisions about their learning and teaching?
