NCES Data Users Conference: Proposal deadline is Sunday!

The deadline for submitting proposals to present at the NCES Data Users Conference (DUC) is Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 11:59 PM EST.

The DUC is virtual and will take place February 11-13, 2025. The DUC will bring together data users, members of the research community, and policy makers to share research and findings that use NCES’s data sets. Participants will be able to discuss strategies for analysis, data linking, data visualization, and reporting federal statistics. All sessions will be live. Presenters will have 30 minutes to present their work and an additional 15 minutes for Q&A. Sessions will be recorded and will be available at a later date on NCES’s website.

Each day of the DUC will focus on a unique theme. Themes and dates are:

• Identifying and Closing Learning and Achievement Gaps (February 11)
• How are the Pre-K, K–12, and Postsecondary Landscapes Changing? (February 12)
