About AERA 

Awards 

AERA's Awards Program is one of the most prominent ways for education researchers to recognize and honor the outstanding scholarship and service of their peers. Recipients of AERA awards are announced and recognized during the Annual Presidential Address and Awards Presentation, which has become one of the most important and highly attended events of the AERA Annual Meeting. A Call for Nominations for AERA Awards is published each spring, usually in the May issue of Educational Researcher, and also appears on the AERA website. Nominations are generally due in early November. For a list of members currently serving on each of AERA’s award committees, or additional information about each award, click on the name of the award to the left.

Many of AERA’s divisions and Special Interest Groups also sponsor awards programs of their own, designed to honor their members for noteworthy accomplishments specific to the group’s areas of interest. These awards are traditionally presented during the division and SIG annual business meetings held during the AERA Annual Meeting. All awards, whether sponsored by AERA, divisions or SIGs, must be approved by the Executive Board.
