== Education research and policy == AERA participates in the open access movement. AERA currently offers Educational Researcher (journal) open access, as well as an Online Paper Repository and i-Presentation Gallery containing presentations from the 2010 Annual Meeting forward. An open access, peer-reviewed journal, AERA Open, launched in 2014. On the policy front, AERA is involved in revisions to the common rule. Executive Director Felice J. Levine served on the National Research Council committee charged with reviewing proposed regulations. The committee published its report in early 2014. AERA had helped to lead the social science research community to increase federal funding for education research, particularly research in the social and behavioral sciences. AERA selects and appoints scholars as AERA Fellows in a process based on peer nominations. This is an effort to convene researchers who are recognized for their contributions and contribute to the advancement of educational research. In addition, AERA was active in the reauthorization of the Institute of Education Sciences bill, Strengthening Education through Research Act, which was advanced by the United States House Committee on Education and the Workforce in April 2014.
== Education research initiatives == AERA is involved in several education research initiatives, ranging from specific advocacy topics to supporting projects that serve the larger community. AERA supports the Education Research Conferences Program, which awards grants for conferences on selected research topics. AERA's Education Research Service Projects is designed to encourage researchers to offer their expertise to organizations and groups who may have a need but not the funds to engage their assistance.
== Affirmative action court cases == AERA participated in several U.S. court cases related to affirmative action by submitting amicus curiae briefs. One example is in 2013, AERA had submitted an amicus brief in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin addressing the use of education research in evaluating race-conscious admissions policies. The association submitted a further amicus brief on affirmative action in December 2015. In 2022, AERA submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in the cases of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc., v. President & Fellows of Harvard College, and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc., v. University of North Carolina, et al. supporting the consideration of race in admissions policies.
