Elizabeth Tipton

Elizabeth Tipton is an Associate Professor of Statistics at Northwestern University. Her research focuses on the design and analysis of field experiments, with a particular focus on issues of external validity and generalizability in experiments; meta-analysis, particularly of dependent effect sizes; and the use of (cluster) robust variance estimation. She is currently the Principal Investigator (PI) of an Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Methods grant to develop software that guides researchers through planning cluster-randomized trials that are both adequately powered and in samples that are generalizable to clearly defined populations. She is also co-PI on an IES Methods training grant (Meta-Analysis Training Institute) that will teach researchers advanced meta-analytic methods each summer for the next three years. Dr. Tipton has received Early Career Awards from the American Psychological Association (2017, Division 5), the Society for Research Synthesis Methods (2017), and the American Education Research Association (2016, Division D). She is currently an Associate Editor of the Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics and is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, Psychological Bulletin, and Research Synthesis Methods.
