Congratulations to Carly Robinson, Recipient of SREE 2025 Early Career Award

The Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness (SREE) is proud to announce that Carly Robinson and Marta Pellegrini will receive the 2025 SREE Early Career Award. This prestigious honor recognizes their exceptional contributions to the field of educational research and their commitment to advancing evidence-based practices in education.

The SREE Early Career Award recognizes early-stage professionals who have demonstrated outstanding research achievements within seven years of earning their doctoral degrees. The award, given annually, aims to highlight individuals whose work has significantly impacted educational effectiveness and policy. Carly Robinson, Director of Research for Stanford University’s SCALE Initiative, which includes the National Student Support Accelerator, leads a team conducting rigorous, partnership-driven field experiments aimed at expanding educational opportunities. With the mission of disrupting cycles of inequality and delivering scalable, equitable educational solutions, her work ranges from personalized tutoring and generative AI interventions to family engagement and strengthening teacher student relationships. With twenty publications in top tier journals and -a track record- of influencing federal and state policies, Robinson combines causal methods and open science practices to turn research insights into real-world impact.

“Carly produces timely, important scholarship that improves the contexts for the students who need that support the most, which she combines with adherence to and advocacy for rigorous research practices that make results more actionable for policymakers and replicable for practitioners” said Hunter Gehlbach, John Hopkins University.
