From: OELA Newsline

Awards to match postdoctoral fellows with established mentors to pursue research training related to teaching and learning in pre-K - 12 settings. Two year fellow stipend: $55,000 per year. Initial deadline for fellows and mentors to qualify is January 1, 2004.

The American Psychological Association (APA) has been awarded $2,070,573 by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) to launch the APA/IES Postdoctoral Education Research Training Program. The overall objective of this fellowship program is to increase the application of cutting edge psychological science to research in education in order to address our nation's needs for high quality research on teaching, learning and achievement of K-12 students. The purpose of the proposed program is to establish a fellowship program that matches promising psychologists with established mentors for intensive research training in order to: build capacity by attracting psychological scientists to conduct research at the interface of psychology and education; develop education and training models to advance school-based scientific research; and increase the visibility of education research within the discipline of psychology. Fellowships will be awarded to individuals who are interested in pursuing research training in school-based research related to teaching and learning, and who have been awarded a doctoral
degree in psychology by the time of appointment. In addition, all
fellows will participate in a series of joint activities that will be
focused on translating research into practice, promoting professional
socialization, building a community of APA/IES scholars, and developing interest in education sciences throughout the graduate education pipeline in psychology.
