A key part of the DeLTA Mission is our students.  DeLTA is fundamentally about learning and development.  WE study learning and development, and we want to help the next generation of developmental scientists learn and develop!

We have an active student program that serves students at all levels: graduate students, post-docs and even undergraduates.

 

Students: Got an idea?

DeLTA's activities are driven by our students! If you've got an idea, we've got resources, connections and an engaged audience. Get in touch with us today and let's discuss.

Interdisciplinary Student Grants

Each year, DeLTA funds small grants to our student and post-doctoral members.  Grants are intended to support exciting work on learning and development that bridges two labs, two fields, or two big ideas!  

Grants are reviewed by the students using the NIH model. This proivdes an incredible learning experience for both applicants and reviewers.
