Other opportunities include working directly with an early childhood agency. For example, the Rhode Island Department of Health Early Intervention Program offers a graduate assistantship to develop early intervention materials, prepare technical assistant guides, and conduct research on best practices. Participate in Family Resource Partnership Teams. The Family Resource Partnership organizational structure is made up of functional teams for conducting the business of the Partnership. For example, the Grantwriting Team prepares several grant proposals each year.
Students can participate in the team roundtable discussion where research proposals are formulated.
Opportunities to research topics and assist with grant-writing activities are also available.
