AERA Grants Program

Attn: Grad Students, great opportunity!

The AERA Grants Program is accepting proposals for its two research initiatives, with a deadline of September 19, 2012. These programs provide small grants and training for researchers who conduct studies of education policy and practice using quantitative methods, including the analysis of data from the large-scale data sets sponsored by National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). We are seeking your assistance in sharing this information and identifying potential candidates.

AERA Dissertation Grants

AERA provides dissertation support for advanced doctoral students to undertake doctoral dissertations using data from the large-scale national or international data sets supported by the NCES, NSF, and other federal agencies. Applications are encouraged from a variety of disciplines, such as but not limited to, education, sociology, economics, psychology, demography, statistics, and psychometrics. The selection process is competitive. The next application deadline is September 19, 2012.

Dear AERA Members and Recent Attendees,

It is Sunday afternoon east coast time, and I am writing to encourage you to finalize your paper or session submission for the 2013 AERA Annual Meeting as soon as you can polish your work.

The staff and I have been monitoring the AERA online submission system over the weekend, and it is operating swiftly and efficiently. We can see, from tracking the number of completed submissions, that thousands are done, but many thousands of submitters also are waiting for the final day and hours—July 23^rd, 11:59pm Pacific time.

This is a good time to get ahead of the crowd! Login now to submit a paper or session submission. Also, be sure that you address all of the elements as set forth in the open Call for Submissions whether you are submitting to an AERA division, SIG, or committee. 

There is no more timely a theme—Education and Poverty: Theory, Research, Policy, and Praxis—or better location for open and innovative exchange of new research and scholarly ideas than San Francisco (April 27-May 1, 2013). We look forward to your attending and, assuming a successful submission, your having the opportunity to present your best work.

Regards,
Felice
