This report describes and evaluates the Advanced Educational Research Institute held from June 20 through August 12, 1966. The primary objective of the institute was the further development and extension of the research competencies of the trainees. The 23 participants were primarily faculty members in institutions of higher education across the nation. Formal academic work consisted of graduate courses titled "Intermediate Statistics,""Advanced Research Methods and Experimental Design," and "Seminar in Research Methodology." During the last week of the institute, each participant submitted a refined statement of an individual research project. Material for evaluative judgments was obtained both from faculty discussions and trainees' opinions that were informally solicited while the institute was in progress and from faculty discussions and trainees' opinions formally solicited at the close of the institute. Included in the report are copies of application forms, publicity materials, and the budget. (MF)
