American Educational Research Association (AERA) Dissertation Grants: For an application or more information visit the website at http://aera.ucsb.edu/subweb/DGFly-FR.html

Application includes: 1) Research proposal (limited to 4 single-spaced pages), that addresses the policy issue and its importance, as well as methodology including proposed data set and criteria for selecting data file, sample, variables, and analytic techniques; 2) Proposed budget; 3) CV; 4) letter of support from applicant's faculty dissertation advisor. If applicant is from a discipline other than education, a letter of support from a faculty sponsor with an education background must also be included.

Evaluation criteria include the importance of the proposed policy issue, the strength of the methodological model and proposed statistical analysis of the study, and relevant experience and research record of the applicant.

The review criteria will include the following: Is the policy issue clearly defined? What is already known on the issue? How does the methodology relate specifically to the policy question? Does the applicant know the data set? Does the analytic plan fit the question and the data? Is the applicant qualified to carry out the proposed study?

There is no specific format for the budget section. Funds may be used for tuition and/or institution fees, books, living expenses, equipment, travel, supplies, computing time, etc. Institutions may not charge overhead on AERA Grants Program awards. Please be advised that if equipment is included in the budget and it will be purchased entirely with AERA funds, AERA will retain ownership of this equipment.

Proposals for Grants and Fellowships will be reviewed three times a year, in Fall, Winter, and Spring, with funding decisions made within a month of the review date. Proposals must be received by:

March 31, 2000 to be reviewed in April

September 1, 2000 to be reviewed in October

January 5, 2001 to be reviewed in February

Goals are: (1) to stimulate research on U.S. education policy and practice related issues, with a priority for those involving mathematics and science education using NCES and NSF data sets; (2) to improve the U.S. educational research community's firsthand knowledge of the range of data available at the two agencies and how to use them; and (3) to increase the number of U.S. educational researchers using the data sets. Minority researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.

Researchers must utilize at least one NSF or NCES data set in the dissertation. Additional large-scale nationally representative data sets may be used in conjunction with the obligatory NSF or NCES data set. If international data sets are used, the study must include U.S. education.

Applicants should choose research topics (suggested topics are listed in brief on the website) that can be supported by the samples and variables contained in the proposed data set. Applicants should be familiar with statistical methods and available computer programs that allow for sophisticated analyses of the selected data. It is also important to select a topic that has policy relevance and that models to be tested include predictor variables that are manipulable (e.g., course work in mathematics, instructional practices used by teachers, parental involvement). Applicants should also be familiar with the specific data set's User Guides and/or Manuals (e.g., use of design weights and design effects).

Washington, DC 20036

E-mail: foundation@aauw.org

Phone: 202/728-7602

Up to $50,000 for a one-year project

Proposals must show significant institutional cost-sharing beyond the basic indirect cost rate. Proposals for two-year projects will also be considered. Colleges and universities may apply for support for a woman scholar to undertake and disseminate research on gender and equity for women and girls. Institutions may use the funds either to bring a qualified scholar to the institution for a fixed period or to designate a scholar currently at the institution to undertake research activities that would not occur without such support. Proposals should strive to achieve impact nationally, rather than within a single university, department, or program. Priority will be given to proposals that provide matching funds. Priority also will be given to institutions indicating that research and activities proposed are likely to continue after the funding period, as opposed to single events or one-time initiatives.

The Foundation will provide funding, with appropriate cost sharing from the institution, to establish a program that focuses on both research activities and dissemination of findings. Two criteria will be of paramount importance to the Foundation in selecting the institution and research project to be funded: 1) relevance and potential impact of the research project to be undertaken, and its significance in exploring new research areas, or in advancing theory and practice beyond its present boundaries; and 2) dissemination of research findings to an audience of scholars, policy makers, and practitioners in a manner that enables the utilization of the information and knowledge generated

costs of attendance, not including travel

Advanced graduate students and recent doctorates are especially encouraged to apply. Applications may be submitted by teams of two researchers, (e.g., faculty and graduate student, two faculty members, two graduate students). The Institute's goal is to help develop a critical mass of U.S. scientists using NCES and NSF data sets for basic, policy, and applied research. The Institute provides hands-on training for U.S. researchers in the use of large-scale national data sets, with special emphasis on using these data sets for policy-related research in education. Minority researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Institute is divided into three parts, including development of knowledge and skills in the use of NCES' and NSF's data sets; methodological training appropriate to analysis of large-scale, often longitudinal, data sets pertinent to educational policy research; discussion of current issues of policy and practice for which the focal data base is relevant. AERA members.

Those selected for participation will receive support covering the Institute's fees, housing, and per diem for the period of attendance. Requests for travel reimbursement cannot be honored; funding assumes that participants will be attending the AERA Annual Meeting.

Awards vary depending on academic level and length of study. Study in countries where there is no U.S. diplomatic presence is not permitted using NSEP funds. The lists of NSEP "areas of emphasis" include geographic areas where study abroad opportunities are likely to be extremely limited. Applications are encouraged for study of regions where access may be limited; these applications will not be penalized for exclusion of a study abroad component.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens enrolled in or applying to a graduate degree program in an accredited U.S. college or university located within the United States. Applicants design their own programs and may combine domestic language and cultural study with overseas study. All fellowships must include study of a modern language other than English and the study of an area and culture. (Note: NSEP Fellowship support may not be used for study of French or Spanish unless such language instruction is at an advanced level or combined with study of business, the applied sciences, or engineering.)

Social Science Research Council German-American Academic Council Summer Institutes: Applications are due at the organizing institutions in March or April of the year in which the institute's first workshop is to be held. For more information see website at www.ssrc.org/gerfell.htm

Not indicated

In partnership with the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (www.wiko-berlin.de), the SSRC has organized summer institutes for promising junior scholars from Germany and the United States since 1994. Two institutes begin every year, and each consists of two two-week workshops. One workshop is held at a German university while the other is held at a U.S. institution. The institutes are designed to strengthen and expand interdisciplinary cooperation across the social and natural sciences, and are funded by the German-American Academic Council Foundation (GAAC)in Bonn and Washington.

CONTACT: Congressional Black Caucus Foundation

Congressional Fellows Program

1004 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE

Washington, DC 20003

E-mail: cbcf@publicwire.com

Website: <http://www.cbcfonline.org/>

The goal of the Program is to provide talented women and men with the opportunity to learn about all aspects of the legislative process. The Program was initiated in 1976 as the Graduate Intern Program. It was motivated by concern that Black professionals are seriously under-represented on Capitol Hill. The Graduate Intern Program was established after the Committee on House Administration released a report finding that of 18,000 Congressional employees, less than 1,000 were Black; and of 22 Standing Committees in the House of Representatives, fewer than 25 Blacks held professional positions. In 1982, the CBCF decided to expand the internships into more in-depth nine-month Fellowships to allow for greater research and public policy analysis opportunities. Fellows gain invaluable experience in assisting in the development of legislative and public policy initiatives while working as congressional staff. Fellows work 40 hours per week on a range of staff assignments, including research and analysis, responding to constituent mail, drafting legislation and coordinating logistics and public testimony for Congressional hearings. During the Fellowship year, each Fellow is also required to write a research paper related to a policy issue of concern to the Member with whom the Fellow is working. All CBCF Fellows will receive compensation in the amount of $20,000. Fellows are responsible for their own travel arrangements, expenses and housing. The program includes the following: an in-depth orientation to Capitol Hill; a nationally-recognized lecture series with African American Members of Congress; a weekly seminar which complements the Fellows' practical work experience with policy analysis on national political issues that are of particular interest to African Americans and a professional development component which allows Fellows to explore career opportunities (with the guidance of a mentor) and develop strategies which facilitate upward mobility.

To be selected, an applicant must have a demonstrated understanding of, and a commitment to, the process of Black political empowerment.

The CBCF Fellows Program is open to individuals who are full-time graduate or law students, recent graduates, professionals with five or more years of experience who are pursuing part-time graduate studies, or college faculty members who have an interest in the legislative policy- making process. Applicants must be U.S. citizens. All Fellows must serve for the nine months of the academic year.
