Professional Development for Emerging Education Researchers (PEER) Institutes support emerging education researchers in developing their research interests into concrete questions, developing short- and long-term research plans, building community with other education researchers, and making progress on advancing projects to publication. We seek scholars who are familiar with independent research and want to expand their methodological repertoire. Preference will be given to junior faculty and DBER "switchers," but outstanding applicants from all levels will be considered. 

Whether you’re just getting started, looking to stretch into new projects or methodologies, or seeking community and support around education research, we’re happy to have you. Application requirements vary; check each school for details. We are especially interested in supporting scholars from groups historically excluded from STEM education research and those with limited access to institutional or external sources of research funding.
