National Study of Learning Mindsets Early Career Fellowship

Student Experience Research Network and the University of Texas at Austin’s Population Research Center awarded National Study of Learning Mindsets Early Career Fellowships to 13 outstanding emerging scholars, with generous funding provided by the Bezos Family Foundation. Fellows participated in a year-long research network during which they used the National Study of Learning Mindsets data to research ideas about mindset science in education contexts, build a community of interdisciplinary colleagues, and advance knowledge for both scientific and lay audiences. Learn more about the fellows’ projects at the links below.
