The term \u201cMajority World\u201d encompasses people of African, Asian, and Latin American heritage, who make up approximately 85% of the global population. Professor Rao is the inaugural recipient of this new award and the first scholar outside the United States to receive a Senior Distinguished Contributions Award in SRCD\u2019s history.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Professor Rao is recognised for her methodologically rigorous, large-scale studies that have significantly advanced research on child development in Asia and the Pacific. Her work has produced robust evidence leading to tangible improvements in equity-focused early childhood policies. She has also developed, refined, and applied innovative tools to track children\u2019s developmental trajectories across diverse early learning environments. Additionally, her impactful collaborations with influential partners have facilitated the dissemination of research findings and promoted investment, which ultimately improve the lives of underprivileged children in the Majority World.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Founded by the National Academy of Sciences in 1933, SRCD is one of the world\u2019s most prestigious and respected professional organisations in the field of child development. It is a professional association whose membership consists of researchers, practitioners, and human development professionals from over 60 countries. Its mission is to advance developmental sciences and promote the use of developmental research to improve human lives. The SRCD Senior Distinguished Contributions Awards were presented on May 1, 2025 during the SRCD 2025 Biennial Meeting held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
