Abstract:
The surveys are for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows taking part in the Institute of Education Sciences three education training grant programs. These programs provide universities support to provide predoctoral training in education research, postdoctoral training in education research, or postdoctoral training in special education research. The results of the survey will be used both to improve the fellowship programs as well as to provide information on the programs to policymakers, practitioners, and the public.

Short Statement:
The number of individuals trained by the IES programs has increased over time. This survey will be sent to all current fellows and former fellows who have completed their training within the past 5 years. Thus, the total number respondents has grown since the survey was established. The number of questions has also increased slightly, so there is a modest increase in the amount of time each respondent may spend filling in the survey relative to past years. To help reduce the burden, we have taken the following three steps: (1) the survey will be administered online, (2) respondents will receive targeted questions based on where they are in their programs (e.g., if they have not completed their programs or if they finished years ago, they will receive only the most relevant questions), and (3) fellows will be tracked for only 5 years after completing their fellowships. These last three elements all reduce the burden. Given these changes, the overall burden for a respondent is approximately 20 minutes.
