Preparing for Life is a 5-year school readiness intervention operating in disadvantaged areas of North Dublin.

The impact evaluation is being conducted using a longitudinal experimental design and collects data on parents, the home environment, and child development outcomes from birth through age 5. As a researcher on this project, you will engage with an international and interdisciplinary research team including Nobel laureate Professor James Heckman and world leading developmental psychologist, Professor Richard Tremblay, to conduct one of the first studies of this nature in Ireland.
