Educational Testing Service - Harold Gulliksen Psychometric Research Fellowship

Description
Fellows will study at their universities and participate in a research project under the supervision of an academic mentor and in consultation with an ETS scientist. During the summer, fellows are invited to participate in the Summer Program in Research for Graduate Students, working under the guidance of an ETS researcher in Princeton.

Program Goals
The goal is to increase the number of well-trained scientists in educational measurement, including psychometrics, statistics, cognitive science, natural language processing, and disciplines of qualitative inquiry.

Important Dates
December 1- Postmarked deadline for preliminary nominations or applications
December 15- Nominees and applicants are notified of preliminary application decision
February 1 next year - Postmarked deadline for submission of final application materials

• $15,000 to pay a stipend to the fellow
• $7,500 to defray the fellow's tuition, fees, and work-study program commitments
• A small grant for the purchase of equipment or software if needed to facilitate work on the fellow's research project (grant must be requested by the university).

Each fellow who also participates in the Summer Program in Research for Graduate Students receives the following:

• $5,000 stipend
• Limited round-trip travel reimbursement from the intern's university to Princeton (consistent with ETS travel policy, but not more than the cost of economy class airfare).

Selection
Selection is based on

1.Strength of the applicant's academic credentials. Applicants need to demonstrate superior academic ability and achievement, exceptional promise, and a strong interest in the field of educational measurement and related disciplines.

2.Suitability of the applicant's proposed research project. The project must correlate with research currently under way at ETS. It is permissible for the project to be thesis research or to be part of a larger project that is directed by the fellow's academic advisor and funded by another source (i.e., NSF, Department of Education).
