Awards & Funding Opportunities

Education Research Conference Proposals

The American Educational Research Association (AERA) invites proposals for its Education Research Conferences Program. Through this program, AERA awards grants of up to $35,000 for conferences intended to break new ground in substantive areas of inquiry, stimulate new lines of study on issues that have been largely unexplored, or develop innovative research methods or techniques that can contribute more generally to education research. It is anticipated that research conferences will draw upon diverse disciplines and fields of inquiry where there is relevant scientific and scholarly expertise. The program aims to foster the accumulation of knowledge, enhance dissemination, encourage innovation, and advance studies of the highest quality in education research. The call for this program has been updated for 2020, to reflect the change to a single cycle per year (previously two cycles in the Spring and Fall) and to provide more clarity and structure to those interested in submitting a proposal. More information and the full Call for Proposals can be found at: https://www.aera.net/Education-Research/Education-Research-Conferences-Program.

 

AERA will accept proposals sent as an email attachment to EdResearchConference@aera.net no later than 11:59 Eastern Time on Thursday, March 5, 2020 .Direct any questions about the AERA Education Research Conferences Program eligibility requirements or submission process toEdResearchConference@aera.net or (202) 238-3200.

Education Research Service

Projects

AERA’s Education Research Service Projects (ERSP) program encourages education researchers to offer their pro bono expertise to educational organizations, institutions, or other community groups that have identified and expressed a need for such assistance. The ERSP program provides small grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 to defray direct costs involved in these projects. ERSP awards may be used only to defray the direct costs associated with research service, allowing education researchers to contribute their time and expertise and thereby to serve the public good. More information and the full Call for Proposals can be found at: https://www.aera.net/Education-Research/Education-Research-Service-Projects.

 

AERA will accept proposals sent as an email attachment to EdResearch@aera.net no later than 11:59 Eastern Time on Monday, February 24, 2020.
