The American Educational Research Association Dissertation Grant (AERA) Dissertation Grants are available for advanced doctoral students and are intended to support the student while writing the doctoral dissertation. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the AERA Grants Program seeks to stimulate research on U.S. education issues using data from the large-scale, national and international data sets supported by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), NSF, and other federal agencies, and to increase the number of education researchers using these data sets. The program supports research projects that are quantitative in nature, include the analysis of existing data from NCES, NSF or other federal agencies, and have U.S. education policy relevance.
