Description of Special Education Research Program
NCSER seeks applications for a Center on Response to Intervention in Early Childhood Special education that conducts focused, high-quality research to develop and rigorously evaluate interventions and assessments that can be used in multi-tiered systems in early childhood settings to identify children at risk for disabilities and to improve individual development and school readiness skills, specifically in the areas of language, early literacy, or early mathematics, for children with disabilities and at risk for disabilities. NCSER is particularly interested in a program of focused research along with dissemination, supplemental studies, and national activities that represent a comprehensive effort to develop and evaluate interventions and assessments and to move them from theory and research to the deployment of effective practices. In addition, NCSER expects that the Center will concurrently develop and evaluate interventions and develop and/or validate measures that link to these interventions. Applications that propose to develop only interventions or only assessment measures or systems will not be accepted under this Request for Applications; instead, applicants should refer to the Early Intervention, Early Childhood Special Education, and Assessment Research Grants Topic.
