Applications for the 2025 Cohort is now open.
2025-2026 Cohort
For the 2025-26 cohort, we are seeking 5-7 Postsecondary Career and Technical Education Research Fellows who are proposing postdoctoral research, entering the dissertation stage research, or in a doctoral program who want to conduct research on current issues related to the field of postsecondary CTE.
Preference will be given to research proposals that address postsecondary CTE in terms of improving student success or using CTE to address larger problems such as economic mobility. Our view of student success uses the pillars of learning, completion, seeking further education, and labor market outcomes. Projects can address one or more of these areas. Projects in other areas of postsecondary CTE are encouraged.
We welcome applicants from a variety of postsecondary institutions and academic disciplines, such as education, economics, sociology and business. Please see the 2025 ECMC Foundation Research Fellows Application Guide and FAQ page that details the application process and expectations of Fellows. The application deadline is June 1st, 2025. The 2025-26 cohort will kick off with a virtual research training institute in August 2025. The fellowship year will run from August 2025 to May 2026.
We will be hosting virtual information sessions throughout the year for prospective applicants. To register, please sign up below.
