Educational Testing Service-- NAEP 199-2000 Visiting Scholar Program
					
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 1999-2000 Visiting
Scholar Program
						
A scholar will be selected to conduct independent research, using the
NAEP database, with access to senior NAEP and other ETS staff in
Princeton, New Jersey. The research should address important educational
policy issues or measurement issues that affect the efficiency or
usefulness of NAEP. Studies focused on issues concerning the education
of minority students are especially encouraged.

The program will provide research opportunities for scholars, encourage
secondary analyses of NAEP data, and increase the number of minority 
professionals in educational measurement and related fields.

Eligibility: Applicants should hold a doctorate degree in a related
     discipline and provide evidence of scholarship.

Period: Ten months. Timing is flexible, but will typically coincide
     with an academic year (September 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000).

Award: The award will be commensurate with the scholar's experience
     and will supplement any support received from the fellow's
     home institution. In addition, limited relocation expenses,
     consistent with ETS guidelines, will be reimbursed upon 
     presentation.

How to apply: There is no formal application. Applicants should submit:
     A letter of Application; a current curriculum vita; a detailed
     proposal of the research the applicant will conduct while at ETS 
     (about 5 pages); and the names, addresses, and telephone numbers
     of three individuals who are familiar with the applicant's work and
     are willing to serve as referees.

Deadline: All application materials must arrive at ETS by 
     February 1, 1999.
