Project Activities
To address each of the project outcomes, the project team will follow a similar process. First, there will be a data preparation phase. In this phase, ERDC will work with stakeholders to identify data needs, study cohorts and other nuances of the subject matter. This phase will result in research data sets with data documentation for use in the studies. The Second phase is basic analysis. ERDC will complete several descriptive analyses under each outcome group using the research data sets created in the data preparation phase. These analyses will address some of the critical research and policy questions in the outcome groups. If the results from the data preparation and the basic analysis phases reveal disproportionalities in equitable education opportunities, then deeper dives into the specific outcomes will be undertaken. At that time, the critical question will be answered, the policy goal and the quantitative method will be determined. Stakeholder input will also be critical in this third phase of analysis and research.
