NCES is planning to conduct seminars on the following topics this year: (1) the analysis of National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) databases, (2) the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) and Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS) databases, and (3) the use of NCES analysis tools. In these seminars, participants will learn how to access and analyze the selected databases and gain further understanding about the nature and potential of the databases. These seminars are open to faculty members and graduate students, as well as researchers and analysts from state and local education agencies and professional associations. Seminar dates and application procedures will be posted on the NCES Web Site. Applicants who are selected to participate will receive travel expenses from NCES.
Jointly funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), NCES, and the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), this training and research program is administered by the American Educational Research Association (AERA). The program has four major elements: a research grants program, a dissertation grants program, a fellows program, and a training institute. The program is intended to enhance the capability of the U.S. research community to use large-scale 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. Applications for this program may be submitted at any time. The application review board meets three times per year.
The NAEP Secondary Analysis Grant Program
The NAEP Secondary Analysis Grant Program was developed to encourage educational researchers to conduct secondary analysis studies using data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the NAEP High School Transcript Studies. This program is open to all public or private organizations and consortia of organizations. The program is typically announced annually, in the late fall, in the Federal Register. Grants awarded under this program run from 12 to 18 months and awards range from $15,000 to $100,000.
