The findings provide strong support for the notion that it has some negative impact on children's intellectual development.

About 'for the notion...', is it a modifier of '(strong) support' (i.e. 'for X' in 'support for X')?

Or is it the same kind as this? And is the same kind of conversion possible?

The findings give strong support to the notion that it has some negative impact on children's intellectual development.

It seems to mean the same to me, but I would expect to see "The findings strongly support the notion that..."
