American Educational Research Association Seeks Applications for Research Using Large Scale Data Sets

With funding from the National Science Foundation, the American Educational Research Association has announced the continuation of the AERA Grants program, which provides small grants and training for researchers conducting studies of education policy and practice using quantitative methods, including the analysis of data from the large-scale data sets sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics and NSF.

Support is available in two categories.

Research grants are available for faculty at institutions of higher education, postdoctoral researchers, and other doctoral-level scholars. Applications are encouraged from a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to education, sociology, economics, psychology, demography, statistics, and psychometrics. Applicants may be U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or non-U.S. citizens and must be working at a U.S. institution. Approximately fifteen grants of up to $20,000 for one-year projects, or up to $35,000 for two-year projects, will be awarded.

Dissertation grants are available for advanced doctoral students and are intended to support the student in the writing of his/her dissertation. AERA invites education-related dissertation proposals using NCES, NSF, and other federal databases. Applications are encouraged from a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to education, sociology, economics, psychology, demography, statistics, and psychometrics.
