Recognizing the importance of connecting education research to policy, the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the Foundation for Child Development (FCD) have collaborated on the development and implementation of this institute directed to building capacity among early career scholars. The substantive focus of the institute is on research on children’s early learning, and how the events and process of early education experiences affect PreK-12 education. This institute will address how scholars can link their research to inform education policy design and its implementation.
