AERA-I: Education in the Professions Forum
Dear Division I,
I am forwarding a letter to all of us from George Wimberly, Director of
Social Justice and Professional Development, so that you could let
others know about these opportunities.
I am writing to ask for your assistance in circulating information about
AERA's important fellowship programs. These programs provide funding to
help graduate students and early career scholars develop research skills
and conduct studies in education and related fields. We encourage you to
share information about these programs with strong candidates and others
who can suggest potential applicants. Below are descriptions of AERA's
fellowship programs.
AERA-AIR (A2) Fellows Program
In collaboration with The American Institutes for Research (AIR), the
AERA-AIR (A2) Fellows Program aims to build the talent pool of high
skilled education researchers experienced in large scale studies in a
major research organization. A2 fellows will receive mentoring from a
diverse group of highly recognized researchers and practitioners in a
variety of substantive areas in education. Fellows will hone their
skills in all aspects of the research process from proposal development
through writing and presentations. Up to three fellows are selected
annually for a two year, rotational position at AIR in Washington, DC.
More information is available at http://www.aera.net/fellowships/?id=698
<BLOCKED::http://www.aera.net/fellowships/?id=698> . The application
deadline for the A2 Fellows Program is March 1, 2007.
