Behavioral Child Development - Sidney W. & Janet R. Bijou Grant

Society For The Advancement of Behavior analysis(SABA)

Purpose: The Sidney W. and Janet R. Bijou Grant provides support for doctoral student research conducted according to the natural science framework for development established by Bijou, in which the primary data for a study of behavior development are the observable interactions between an organism and environmental events.

Grants Available: For each academic year, the endowment may provide up to five US$12,000 grants. All expenses must be clearly detailed in the proposed budget statement. The SABA Board of Directors reserves the right not to award any grant in a given year.

Additional Information: This grant will be provided to doctoral students in departments of psychology, education, behavior analysis, or other disciplines that support research in behavioral development. The focus of research should be on the emergence of and progressive changes in and across behavioral repertoires and the function of the relevant contextual, organismic, and historical variables. While intervention and between group design research could be appropriate, the primary research questions must be focused on the identiﬁcation of the behavioral processes involved in the cognitive, social, emotional, and language development of the individual. Examples include but are not limited to: Derived relational responding, social referencing, bidirectional naming, interdependence of verbal operants, skill acquisition, joint attention, and behavioral cusps. Basic or translational research with nonhumans is appropriate, provided that the primary purpose of the research is to address behavioral mechanisms of development. Interventions and designs and not [intervention] or treatments for any particular disorder will not be considered.

Grant recipients will be publicly recognized at the SABA Awards Ceremony at the ABAI Annual Convention and in Inside Behavior Analysis.

Dr. Sidney W. and Janet R. Bijou funded a substantial endowment to SABA in 1996 to establish this grant program; a second donation was made in 2003. Dr. Bijou passed away on June 11, 2009, at the age of 100. Click here to learn more about the fund.
