The overarching purpose of the Multi-Institutional Education Research Grant (MERG) is to help researchers complete high quality, multi-institutional educational research studies. As such, once applications are received, selected proposals will be invited to a Shark Tank Style presentation during the ASE Annual Meeting. The presentations at the annual meeting will help researchers 1) solicit additional sites for participant recruitment, 2) elicit feedback on research questions and methods, 3) learn about other ongoing multi-institutional research efforts. The Research Collaborative may also assist with research methodology and site recruitment as needs are identified by study Principal Investigators. The winning presentation will also receive a $2,500 MERG grant to continue their research. Applications are due by February 25, 2022.
