AERA Undergraduate Student Education Research Training Workshop
Call for Applications
Deadline: November 9, 2026
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) invites applications for the Undergraduate Student Education Research Training Workshop to be held Wednesday, April 14 through Saturday, April 17 during the 2027 AERA Annual Meeting in Toronto. This workshop is for undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a graduate or professional degree that can lend itself to education research areas such as children and youth, school and schooling issues, higher education, education policy, student achievement, curriculum and instruction, education psychology, or education leadership. Students must have current or ongoing research that can be presented in a poster session.
The workshop, led by junior and senior scholars, will give undergraduate fellows an overview of how education research is designed across fields, how quantitative and qualitative research methods are used in studies, and how research is applied to education policy and practice. Senior researchers and faculty from both academic institutions and applied research will introduce education research as a field and share their area of expertise and knowledge with the fellows.
