AERA research conference grant proposals due Feb. 26

The American Educational Research Association (AERA) is currently accepting proposals for grants up to $35,000 to support innovative research conferences in the field of education research. Conference proposals are due Friday, Feb. 26.

AERA awards grants up to $35,000 to support research 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. Conferences may focus on conceptual, empirical, or methodological issues important to understanding the state of the knowledge and charting directions for future 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 purpose of this program is to foster the accumulation of knowledge, to enhance dissemination, to encourage innovation, and to advance studies of the highest quality in education research.

Please review the 2021 call and guidelines for more information on conference format, award details, eligibility, and the application process.

Please contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education or a pre-award team member if you are interested in pursuing this opportunity.
