The American Educational Research Association invites proposals for the Education Research Service Projects (ERSP) program. This initiative aims to encourage education researchers to offer their professional expertise on a pro bono basis to educational organizations, institutions, or identifiable community groups in areas where research can matter. The ERSP program welcomes applications from education researchers who seek to provide research skills, knowledge, methods, and related services to educational entities that have specifically identified and expressed a need for such assistance (e.g., childcare supports or services, schools, school systems, colleges and universities, and community organizations).
Call and Guidelines for Proposals
The deadline for submission passed on January 9, 2023.
