The Institute of Child Development (ICD) has received a grant to offer six fellowships to incoming PhD in developmental psychology students as part of the Creating Inclusive Cohorts (CIC) Training Program. This is the second consecutive year that ICD has received the CIC grant.

The CIC program, offered through the University of Minnesota Graduate School, assists graduate programs in their initiatives to increase and sustain the diversity of students receiving graduate degrees. The program provides support for fellowships for up to six admitted students from under-represented communities, as well as assistance with recruitment efforts. 

Each one-year fellowship includes a stipend of $25,000, academic year tuition, subsidized health insurance, and dental care.
