About the Decision Education Research Collaborative
The Decision Education Research Collaborative brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers with a shared interest in Decision Education. Research Collaborative participants help advance the field of Decision Education by engaging in discussions about research findings, sharing knowledge and resources, and generating new insights about decision-making in childhood and adolescence.
Research Collaborative participants receive a $5,000 stipend, along with the opportunity to apply for small grants to fund independent research projects and experiments in Decision Education.
The application for the 2023-2024 Decision Education Research Collaborative has closed.
