VISITING SCHOLARS PROGRAM

The OERI Visiting Scholars Fellowship Program, administered by the National Research Council, allows individuals to conduct educational research at the OERI national research institutes in Washington, DC for up to 12 months. Fellows selected for this program may receive awards commensurate with their current salaries plus moving expenses. Aside from carrying out their research, fellows are expected to interact in a collegial manner with OERI staff and be available to share their insights and expertise when needed.

Eligible applicants include scholars, researchers, policymakers, educational practitioners, librarians, or statisticians who are engaged in the use, collection, and dissemination of information about education and educational research.

FY 2000 competition was completed. Four visiting scholars were selected to join the U.S. Department of Education in September as visiting scholars in OERI's national research institutes. They are:

Caryn Bailey, Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed At-Risk (CPRESPAR), Howard University, Washington, DC.
Michele Foster, Center for Graduate Educational Studies at Claremont University, Claremont, CA.
Kimberley Ann Woo, Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT.
Min Zhou, Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA. (Min Zhou's Research Website at UCLA)
