(12/5/07) Call for Papers

Announcing a call for applications...

UVA's Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Program in Education
Sciences is accepting applications now through February 29th, 2008 for
the 2008-2009 program year.

The Program's goal is to train the next generation of scientists who
will address questions that have clear implications for education
practice and policy. Fellows will complete a 2-year doctoral
traineeship in rigorous research methods, research partnerships, and
conceptual frameworks for addressing questions of educational
relevance. These early career scholars will acquire the requisite
tools for conducting multi-method educational research, and will start
to establish a line of programmatic research enabling them to become
leaders in the education sciences. The training program emphasizes
scientific approaches to risk and prevention, especially as these
apply to student inequality and underperformance.
