Overview
<p><span>Through the grant program on Statistical and Research Methodology in Education (Methods), the Institute supports research to advance education research methods and statistical analyses. The long-term outcome of this research program will be a wide range of methodological and statistical products that will better enable education scientists to conduct rigorous education research. </span></p> <p><span>The Institute is interested in the development of practical statistical and methodological products (e.g., methods, guidelines or other methodological resources, software) that can be used by most education researchers (rather than only by statisticians and researchers with highly sophisticated statistical skills) to improve the designs of their studies, analyses of their data, and interpretations of their findings. </span></p> <p><span>For the FY 2017 competition, the Institute is competing two topics: (1) Regular Grants and (2) Early Career Grants for researchers who completed their doctorates on or after April 1, 2012. The topics share the same requirements except those regarding personnel, maximum project duration, and maximum award amount. The Early Career topic is intended for applicants proposing high-quality work but that can be done over a shorter period and requires less funding.</span></p>
Other Information:<p><span>The Institute strengthened language to make clear that projects funded under this RFA are to be relevant to applied education researchers and/or education practitioners. This RFA is not intended to fund work that exclusively focuses on, or even primarily focuses on, issues faced only by methodological researchers. The Institute is requesting projects of immediate practical use to applied researchers. The projects should develop products (e.g., methods, software, guidelines, or other methodological resources) by their end that will improve the planning, conduct, and/or interpretation of applied education research.</span></p>Last Updated:
