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. At this time, we do not anticipate a FY2001 competition.
Future competitions depend on the availability of funds.
Notices of new competitions will be posted on this web site. Additional information on this fellowship program can be found in the FY 2000 Application Package . During the past fiscal years, five visiting scholars have completed their fellowships with OERI's national research institutes.
