Grounding education policy and practice in the United States on evidence requires transformation of both the research and practice fields. Practitioners will have to turn routinely to education research when making important decisions, and education researchers will have to produce research that is relevant to those decisions. To achieve this ambitious agenda, there is a need for a cadre of well-trained scientists capable of conducting high quality research that is relevant to practitioners and policy makers.

To increase the supply of scientists and researchers in education who are prepared to conduct rigorous evaluation studies, develop and evaluate new products and approaches that are grounded in a science of learning, design and validate tests and measures, and address applied education research problems utilizing sophisticated statistical methods to analyze data, the Institute will fund interdisciplinary graduate research training programs in the education sciences.
