Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest 1

The research team for this study consisted of a prime contractor, American Institutes for Research (AIR), and four subcontractors, BPA, ETS, the Lewin Group, and Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. None of these organizations or their key staff has financial interests that could be affected by findings from the Study of the Impact of a Reading Intervention for Low-Literate Adult ESL Learners. No one on the technical working group, convened by the research team approximately once per year to provide advice and guidance, has financial interests that could be affected by findings from the evaluation.

1 Contractors carrying out research and evaluation projects for IES frequently need to obtain expert advice and technical assistance from individuals and entities whose other professional work may not be entirely independent of or separable from the particular tasks they are carrying out for the IES contractor. Contractors endeavor not to put such individuals or entities in positions in which they could bias the analysis and reporting of results, and their potential conflicts of interest are disclosed.
