The NAEP Research and Development (R&D) program supports expanding the
community of statisticians, psychometricians, assessment specialists, and
education researchers who work with NAEP data through training and internship
opportunities, as well as through cooperative agreements. NAEP Data Training
workshops provide opportunities to learn about the assessment process, item
development, data tools, and other NAEP activities and offer hands-on
experience in NAEP data analysis. The NAEP Internship Program, which is
offered to doctoral students annually, allows them to work with a research
organization on NAEP projects. Through NAEP Cooperative Agreements,
organizations and individuals are given the opportunity to apply their ideas
and techniques to address the challenges facing NAEP.
