Research Grants  The International Education Research Foundation's mission is to conduct research and disseminate information on world educational systems and to facilitate the integration of individuals educated outside the United States into the U.S. educational environment and work force. IERF accomplishes this by: The purpose of the research grant program is to aid IERF in carrying out this mission. Therefore, IERF invites individuals and organizations to submit appropriate research project proposals for funding. Research grants are awarded for research only and not for study.
The Sepmeyer Research Grant Program For many years, Inez Sepmeyer worked at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she focused on the admission and placement of international students and conducted research on international educational systems. Encouraged and aided by her late husband, Ludwig, she established the first U.S. private credentials evaluation service (IERF) in 1969. Her vision led to the publication of The Country Index, as well as other significant publications in the credentials evaluation field. Contributions include publications with the following organizations: NAFSA: Association of International Educators and American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) - both of which have awarded her honorary and/or life memberships.IERF is pleased to name its research grant program in honor of Inez and Ludwig Sepmeyer because of their combined involvement in international education and their commitment to research and publications on world educational systems.
Inez was dedicated to improving understanding about international education systems and spearheaded the publication of the Country Index in 1971, which was then revised in 1986. This publication has been very useful to international admissions and evaluation specialists. In 2004, IERF published The New Country Index: Making Sense of International Credentials, Volume I. We are currently offering the Sepmeyer Research Grants for country profiles for the second volume of the New Country Index. Project Proposals
