The Pennsylvania State University Training Interdisciplinary Educational Scientists (TIES) Program aimed to train educational scientists with expertise in literacy and social and emotional competence and with expertise in statistics and research methods necessary for conducting cluster randomized trials. TIES bridged resources and capacities of three Colleges (Education, Health and Human Development, Liberal Arts) and six interdisciplinary research centers at Penn State (Children, Youth, and Families Consortium; Center for Human Development and Family Research in Diverse Contexts; Child Study Center; Methodology Center; Prevention Research Center; and Center for Applied Educational and Developmental Sciences). TIES fellows were involved in coursework, seminars, summer institutes, and research apprenticeships that will expose them to cutting-edge work in literacy and social and emotional learning and that will underscore the developmental interplay between these two critical domains of school adjustment. The program's core research training emphasized cluster randomized trials, management of the research process, grant writing, and applied research experiences.
