IES NCSER 2017 Summer Research Training

NCSER announces the 2017 Summer Research Training Institute on SMART Designs

Applications are being accepted for a Summer Research Training Institute on sequential multiple assignment randomized trials (SMARTs) used in the development and evaluation of adaptive interventions. Interventions in educational settings often require an individualized approach in which the intervention to be delivered is adapted and re-adapted over time in response to the evolving needs of the individual. Adaptive interventions provide one way to operationalize this approach.

The goal of this Institute is to increase the national capacity of education researchers to conduct novel and methodologically rigorous trials for developing and evaluating adaptive interventions. This training is funded by the National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) in the Institute of Education Sciences.

• What: Summer Research Training Institute on SMART Designs
• When: June 14-16 (full-day on June 14 and 15, half-day on June 16)
• Where: Washington, DC

All applications must be received no later than Monday, April 24 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
