National Academy of Education

The National Academy of Education (NAEd) is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization in the United States that advances high-quality research to improve education policy and practice. Founded in 1965, the NAEd currently consists of over 300 elected regular members, international associates, and emeriti. Members and international associates are elected based on the outstanding scholarship related to education and provide pro-bono service on committees that provide advice to policymakers and practitioners on pressing issues in education.^[1] In addition, Academy members and other scholars are also deeply engaged in NAEd’s professional development programs focused on preparing the next generation of education researchers. Since 1986, NAEd has administered the NAEd/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellowship Program,^[2] and since 2011, NAEd has administered the NAEd/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship Program, ^[3] both funded by The Spencer Foundation.

Leadership

The National Academy of Education is governed by a nine-member board of directors.^[4] Current President of the Academy is Carol D. Lee.
