R&D Hub

The NAEP Doctoral Student Internship Program is entering its eighth year, and applications have just opened! Interns will have the opportunity to work directly with NAEP researchers from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the American Institutes for Research (AIR) to analyze NAEP data; contribute to the development of statistical methods and education knowledge; and help inform education policy at the national, state, and local levels. This paid internship is remote, with some covered travel to Arlington, VA, expected. Applications will remain open through February 2, 2024.

This holiday season, we’re thankful for all the great team members, researchers, interns, and students that make up the NAEP research community. Your work with data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress helps us gain a greater understanding of K-12 student academic achievement, providing vital tools to inform educational policy and practice. Let’s take a look back at some of the community members we’ve highlighted this year.

As we look back on the recently ended 2023 NAEP Doctoral Internship Program, one more intern from this most recent cohort has worked with us to share her experience with the program and a bit about herself. Radhika Kapoor had an exciting summer working with NAEP data and tools with the experts, and now she’s reflected on and answered a few questions for the NAEP research community. 

As the summer and the NAEP Doctoral Student Internship begin to wind down, another intern took the time to share some insights and reflections with the NAEP research community about themselves and their work! Danielle Siegel has been spending her summer engaging in methodological developments and conducting secondary analysis using NAEP data, but she found the time to answer a few questions.

A new cohort of summer interns has joined the NAEP R&D program! These interns are hard at work engaging in methodological developments and conducting secondary analysis using NAEP data. A couple of our new interns, Jazzmine Waugh and Talal Khan, have taken a moment to answer some questions and introduce themselves to the NAEP R&D community.
