NERA members come from diverse life experiences, abilities, and perspectives and all areas of education (e.g., higher education, research and development, training and technical assistance agencies, P-12 educators and state departments of education). NERA membership is open to all individuals who have a commitment to excellence in the field of educational research.

During these challenging times, our goal is to provide a welcoming and supportive space for all to come together, share research, and advance our practice in education. As we prepare for the NERA 2025 Conference, excitement is building, and our team is working hard to create an enriching and meaningful experience for everyone.
This year, our theme has evolved slightly, and we are proud to present the final theme: "Illuminating the Margins: Education for All Minds."
We have an outstanding lineup of speakers and sessions planned, and we can’t wait to share more details with you soon. Together, we can drive meaningful change in education.
I look forward to seeing you all in October!
