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
