Rationale for Establishing the Award: The award is designed to encourage graduate students to prepare and present research papers at the annual conference.
Eligibility Criteria:
To be eligible, the graduate student must:
- Be a current member of the Educational Statisticians SIG.
- Be first or sole author on a paper presented at the annual AERA conference (and be listed in the program as presenting author on the paper in either a paper presentation or roundtable session). The nominee may have faculty or other graduate students as co-authors but, in this case, must be listed as first author on the paper and be presenting the paper.
- Upload the full version of the paper to be presented on the AERA portal.
