The Moving Minds Alliance Research Fellowship Program supports local researchers in the Global South to carry out studies on issues related to young children (aged 0-8 years) and their caregivers in emergency contexts. It offers an opportunity to be part of a global community of researchers who are advancing knowledge and evidence in this field, while working with the MMA Research Forum team. It also offers the opportunity for Fellows’ research to be disseminated widely through the MMA Network, and through the Research Forum on Young Children in Emergencies.
