The National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) and American Educational Research Association (AERA) Annual Meetings are taking place in Chicago on April 12–15 and 13–16, respectively. In this post, we put the spotlight on the NAEP Doctoral Internship alumni who will have a presence either virtually or in person as presenters or participants at the NCME and AERA Annual Meetings this year.  We are proud of their contributions to education research and involvement as members of the NAEP R&D program community.

The NAEP R&D team has been busy as we start the new year, and we know you have been too. After sustained interest in the application process, we’ve extended the deadline to apply for the 2023 NAEP Doctoral Internship Program for an additional week, through Friday, January 27. The program is a 10-week paid remote internship that provides interns with the opportunity to dive into data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) while working directly with researchers from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the American Institutes for Research (AIR).

The NAEP R&D Program stayed busy in 2022, making strides on a wide variety of fronts. As the year comes to a close, let’s look back at some of the progress and achievements made in 2022.
