Program Description

Funding for this program supports the activities of the five National
Education Research Institutes, which are the organizational units within
the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) currently
responsible for administering the office's support for education
research. The mission of the Institutes is to expand knowledge and
understanding of education and contribute to the improvement of
education policy and practice. They support research, development, and
evaluation activities through grants, contracts, and cooperative
agreements with institutions of higher education, public and private
organizations, and individuals. The five Institutes are: *National
Institute on Student Achievement, Curriculum, and Assessment*
(<http://www.ed.gov/offices/OERI/SAI/>); *National Institute on the
Education of At-Risk Students*
(<http://www.ed.gov/offices/OERI/At-Risk/>); *National Institute on
Educational Governance, Finance, Policymaking, and Management*
(<http://www.ed.gov/offices/OERI/GFI/>); *National Institute on Early
Childhood Development and Education*
(<http://www.ed.gov/offices/OERI/ECI/>); and *National Institute on
Postsecondary Education, Libraries, and Lifelong Learning*
(<http://www.ed.gov/offices/OERI/PLLI/>).

The Institutes support university-based research and development
centers, which conduct long-term research and development on core issues
and concerns; field-initiated studies in which the topics and methods of
study are determined by the individual investigators; and a variety of
other research and related projects. The Institutes also support
fellowships to bring outside scholars to the Institutes for 12- to
18-month periods.

Program Performance

[Objective 1: The findings and products of education research are useful
to policymakers and practitioners in addressing their
high-]{.smallcaps}priority needs.
