OBJECTIVES:  The sponsor invites educational policy-related
dissertation proposals using NCES, NSF, and other national data bases.
Although research topics may cover a wide range of education
policy-related issues, research projects related to science and/or
mathematics education are especially encouraged. Other topics of
interest include teachers and teaching, including supply, quality, and
demand; policies and practices related to student achievement and
assessment; policies and practices that influence student and parental
attitudes; contextual factors (individual, curricular, and school
related) in education; educational participation and persistence
(kindergarten through career entry); at-risk students; early childhood
education; postsecondary education; US education in an international
context; school finance; the quality of educational institutions; and
methodological studies. The research project must include the analysis
of data from at least one NSF, NCES, or other nationally or
internationally representative data set such as those supported by the
U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Census Bureau, and the National
Institutes of Health. Additional data sets may be used in conjunction
with the obligatory federal data set. If international data sets are
used, the study must include U.S. education.

ELIGIBILITY
<p>Applicants for Dissertation Grants may be U.S. citizens, U.S.
permanent residents, or non-U.S. citizens. Applicants should be
advanced doctoral students at the dissertation writing stage.
Underrepresented minority researchers are strongly encouraged to
apply.

FUNDING
<p>Awards for Dissertation Grants are up to $20,000 for one-year
projects. (sgm)</p>
