The NAEP Secondary Analysis Program was developed to encourage the preparation of reports that would not otherwise be available utilizing new
ideas or state-of-the-art techniques to analyze and report the information
contained in NAEP assessments and the NAEP High School Transcript Studies.
Analyses and reports prepared under this program should potentially be
useful to the general public, parents, educators, educational researchers,
or policy makers.
For the 2004 NAEP Secondary Analysis competition, applicants may propose
analyses using any currently available NAEP or HSTS data set.
Applications must be submitted under one of the three program goals. Goal
One encompasses projects that use the NAEP data to study issues related to
educational improvement. Goal Two encompasses projects that develop tools
and methodologies to assist users of the NAEP data. Goal Three encompasses
projects that develop improvements to the estimation, analysis and
reporting of the NAEP data. Please see "Requirements of the Proposed
Research" in the application materials online for more information about
the types of projects the Institute of Education Sciences [the Institute]
seeks to fund.
Through this program, the Institute encourages greater use of NAEP data to
inform educational policy and practice. Much potentially valuable
information that could be gained from the NAEP data remains untapped. This
grant program was developed to make resources available to qualified data
analysts to explore the NAEP data more fully.
The program details and links to the complete application package are
