OBJECTIVES: The sponsor invites educational policy-related<br>
dissertation proposals using NCES, NSF, and other national data
bases.<br>
Although research topics may cover a wide range of education<br>
policy-related issues, research projects related to science and/or<br>
mathematics education are especially encouraged. Other topics of<br>
interest include teachers and teaching, including supply, quality,
and<br>
demand; policies and practices related to student achievement and<br>
assessment; policies and practices that influence student and
parental<br>
attitudes; contextual factors (individual, curricular, and school<br>
related) in education; educational participation and persistence<br>
(kindergarten through career entry); at-risk students; early
childhood<br>
education; postsecondary education; US education in an international<br>
context; school finance; the quality of educational institutions;
and<br>
methodological studies. The research project must include the
analysis<br>
of data from at least one NSF, NCES, or other nationally or<br>
internationally representative data set such as those supported by
the<br>
U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Census Bureau, and the National<br>
Institutes of Health. Additional data sets may be used in
conjunction<br>
with the obligatory federal data set. If international data sets are<br>
used, the study must include U.S. education. <br><br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
<p>Applicants for Dissertation Grants may be U.S. citizens,
U.S.<br>
permanent residents, or non-U.S. citizens. Applicants should be<br>
advanced doctoral students at the dissertation writing stage.<br>
Underrepresented minority researchers are strongly encouraged to<br>
apply.<br><br>
FUNDING<br>
<p>Awards for Dissertation Grants are up to $20,000 for
one-year<br>
projects. (sgm)</p><br><br>
