The De Vincenzi Foundation was established in the will of the late
Italian psycholinguist Marica De Vincenzi for the support of young
Italian scholars who intend to carry out research abroad in the domain of
grammatically-oriented psycholinguistics preferably at US institutions
(but other countries, except for Italy, are eligible) and preferably<br>
to do research on questions concerning sentence or discourse level
processing.. The primary criteria used in evaluating fellowship
applications are the impact on the applicant's career development and on
psycholinguistics in Italy more broadly. Applications will be judged
based on candidates' past record and future potential, the
suitability of the host lab, and the feasibility and impact of the
proposed <br>
research, including (where appropriate) plans for applying for
postdoctoral funding beyond the initial fellowship year. <br>
<br>
The scientific committee includes Lyn Frazier as president, Maria Teresa
Guasti as vice-president, Janet Dean Fodor, Colin Phillips, Luigi Rizzi,
and Sandro Zucchi. Head of the administrative board is Remo Job.<br><br>
