With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Grants Program announces a special AERA Institute on Statistical Analysis focused on identifying factors that promote the developmental trajectories of mathematics skills in early childhood using large diverse publicly available datasets. The Institute has two substantive emphases: (1) development of mathematics skills in early childhood (0-8 years of age) and (2) causal inference. Advanced doctoral students and early career researchers (7 years post doctorate and pre-tenure) are eligible to apply. Applicants must have a background in mathematics or mathematics education in addition to research experience related to early childhood education, development theories, and training in statistics.
More information is available on the AERA Institute on Statistical Analysis webpage.

This fellowship is targeted for members of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in higher education (e.g., African Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Asian Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders). This program offers doctoral fellowships to enhance the competitiveness of outstanding minority scholars for academic appointments at major research universities. It supports fellows conducting education research and provides mentoring and guidance toward the completion of their doctoral studies.
More information is available on the AERA Minority Dissertation Fellowship Program webpage.

The workshop, led by junior and senior scholars, will give fellows an overview of how education research is designed across fields, how quantitative and qualitative research methods are used in studies, and how research is applied to education policy and practice. Senior researchers and faculty from both academic institutions and applied research organizations (i.e., The American Institutes for Research, Educational Testing Service, the College Board, and the Urban Institute) will introduce education research as a field and share their area of expertise and knowledge with the fellows.

With funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the AERA-SDL fellowship supports postdoctoral and early career scholars in education research using the Deeper Learning data collected by the American Institutes for Research (AIR). These data include a wealth of information about students, schools, and teachers in the sample of Deeper Learning high schools. Fellows are awarded funding to undertake research projects using the Deep Learning Data and receive professional development and training.
More information is available on the AERA Fellowship Program on the Study of Deeper Learning webpage.
