School of Education. His research sets out to understand how to transform the capacity and support of school systems in low- and middle-income countries to address the needs of their rapidly growing and increasingly diverse student populations. Through partnering with governments and non-profits to embed policies and programs within experiments, he advances evidence on how to improve the academic and social-emotional skills of students who are the first in their families to attend school. During his fellowship, Alejandro will focus on how we should reform classroom instruction to address the needs of large and heterogeneous student groups.<\/p>\n                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                \r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"button_section\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"item item_2\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"item_inner media_in_left\">\r\n                                                                                            <div class=\"media_section\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"image_section\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"image_section_inner\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"bg_img\" style=\"background-image:url('https:\/\/jacobsfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Brenda-scaled.jpg')\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jacobsfoundation.org\/wp-content\/themes\/jacobs-foundation-2\/dist\/images\/Blank_630_354.png\" alt=\"Section Image\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"content_section\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"content_section_inner\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"main_title\">\r\n                                                                        <h3 class=\"main_title_text\">\r\n                                                                            Brenda Wawire                                                                        <\/h3>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"content\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"content_text\">\r\n                                                                            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/jacobsfoundation.org\/fellows\/jacobs-foundation-research-fellowship-en\/brenda-wawire\/\">Brenda Wawire<\/a> is Research Faculty I at the Learning Systems Institute at Florida State University. Her research focuses on strengthening language and literacy skills among learners from linguistically diverse communities. During the fellowship, she will examine how factors such as family traits, home environment, and socioeconomic status impact children\u2019s education outcomes. She will develop a tool to screen for developmental dyslexia, which will be used to screen learners in Kenya. Brenda aims to build evidence about how children\u2019s educational outcomes are influenced and shaped by factors outside of school, focusing on learning variability and developmental dyslexia.<\/p>\n

His research examines the role of fathers in early child development, and he currently collaborates with community-based organizations, international organizations, and governments in Tanzania and Kenya to improve early child development. During his fellowship, he plans to expand the scope of a planned parenting intervention for couples with young children in Tanzania by specifically testing different strategies for engaging fathers in the community-based program.

Behavioral Sciences at Queen Mary University of London. As a developmental psychologist, she directs the Cognitive, Development, and Education (CoDE) research laboratory. Her research seeks to understand why children and adolescents differ in their learning, behavior, and cognition by examining psycho-social and biological pathways. For Margherita, \u201cthe overlap between neurodevelopmental and disruptive behavior disorders is critically under-researched\u201d. During her fellowship, she hopes to bridge this gap in knowledge by investigating the combined impact of neurodevelopmental and disruptive behavior disorders on learning and child development.<\/p>\n

University. She is an economist working at the intersection of health and development economics. During her fellowship, Valentina will work on projects examining how housing relocation programs that move families to better neighborhoods can influence the outcomes of children in the developing world. The findings of her research will help to shape policies that have the potential to transform the lives of children, especially those in the most deprived contexts of the world.<\/p>\n                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                \r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"button_section\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    \r\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2025 Call for applications: Jacobs Foundation Research Fellowship Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are delighted to announce the 2025 Call for Applications for the Research Fellowship Program.
