The Institute of Education Sciences-funded Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Research Training (IES-PIRT) program is an interdisciplinary fellowship program designed to train students of diverse backgrounds to become outstanding researchers in the educational sciences. In addition to funding doctoral students from the seven affiliated departments across NYU, the program includes a proseminar series. The series brings together presentations by both NYU and external experts who will help to introduce, reintroduce, and consolidate students' advanced understanding of the concepts of internal, external, construct, and statistical validity.

All sessions listed are open to the public. Unless otherwise noted, all sessions are scheduled from 12:00pm-1:20pm and will take place in-person at Kimball Hall, 246 Greene Street, Room 607W.

Please note: Any external guests (non-NYU) must be sponsored in advance. We kindly ask that you plan accordingly.
