ITP FELLOWS

Building on tools of measurement, design, and statistics in education and the social sciences, UW-Madison’s Interdisciplinary Training Program in Education Sciences is helping to train a new generation of researchers who are attuned to the need for concrete knowledge about “what works” in education, and who can bring the most rigorous tools of quantitative social science to bear on the practical problems of education. In addition, UW-Madison’s ITP Fellows are part of a network of 16 pre- and post-doctoral federally funded interdisciplinary education science training programs that are developing a national research capacity. Ongoing opportunities exist for students to interact and network across the training programs and to build relationships that will extend into their professional lives and influence national education research and policy for decades.

At Madison, a total of 30 students will be trained over 5 years by an interdisciplinary collaborative team of more than 20 social scientists from four academic departments (sociology, economics, political science, and psychology) and three professional schools (education, public affairs, and social work). The students will receive social science doctoral degrees, become certified with a minor in education sciences, serve internships in randomized field trials, collaborate with one another and with faculty across the departments and schools, and conduct research that will inform policy decisions in education.

ITP Fellows are categorized as Advanced (completing dissertation) or Entry (first three years of a doctoral program).

Although the UW-ITP program can fund only U.S. citizens or permanent residents, it encourages international students with shared research interests to become part of the UW-ITP community.
