Programs and Funding Opportunities
SBE Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants
SBE Science of Science and Innovation Policy
NSF-Sponsored Research Opportunities in Statistics and Policy Analysis
American Educational Research Association (AERA)
The National Science Foundation, in cooperation with the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and its Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), jointly fund a research and training program administered by the American Educational Research Association. This multi-faceted program is intended to enhance the capability of the U.S. research community to use large-scale, nationally-representative data sets, specifically those of the NSF and NCES, to conduct studies that are relevant to educational policy and practice, and to strengthen communications between the educational research community and government staff. The AERA Grants Program has the following components: a research grants program, a dissertation grants program, and a statistics institute. The range of programs available under the AERA Grants Program provide opportunities for beginning and senior researchers, including advanced graduate students. Minority researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.
Association for Institutional Research (AIR)
The NSF, in conjunction with the NCES, supports AIR's Improving Institutional Research in Postsecondary Educational Institutions program. The goals of the program are to provide opportunities to institutional research professionals for professional development, to foster the use of federal data bases by institutional researchers (including the national sample surveys) in postsecondary education decision-making, and to foster the use of the federal data bases to inform research on institutional research in postsecondary education. The program has two major components: annual summer Institutes to study the national data bases, and research grants. Dissemination is an integral part of the AIR Grant Program. NCES and NSF have agreed to provide access to needed data through the National Data Resource Center or a similar mechanism. NSF Data Base Institute proposals are solicited from the staff, faculty and doctoral students of postsecondary education institutions.
