Come join the doctoral training consortium in early childhood intervention for infants and young children with high-intensity needs because of significant intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

The University of Connecticut received a $6.5 million grant from the US Department of Education to develop a doctoral leadership program to train 28 future faculty across the country across 10 institutions. Both faculty and students will collaborate and work across all the consortia universities to form a network of experts who can be resources to other faculty, doctoral students, early childhood interventionists, and families of infants and young children with high-intensity learning needs.

Two University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UHM) students will be admitted into the PhD in Education, Exceptionalities-Track cohort in Fall 2020 for this consortium opportunity. They will be the “fellows” in the consortium and must be full-time students who are not employed. Fellows will become graduate students (approx. $25,000/year), and will receive a full tuition waiver and funding to travel to the mainland for conferences and consortium activities.
