Abstract: The Institute of Education 

Sciences (IES) within the U.S. 

Department of Education (ED) requests 

clearance for data collection activities to 

support a pilot study of the reliability 

and validity of survey items used to 

assess the use of research evidence 

(URE) among education agencies and 

other partners served by the Regional 

Educational Laboratories (RELs). The 

REL program is an essential IES 

investment focused on partnering with 

State and local education agencies use 

evidence to improve education 

outcomes by creating tangible research 

products and providing engaging 

learning experiences and consultation. 

IES seeks to better understand how REL 

partners use research evidence to 

improve education outcomes and the 

role of RELs in promoting URE among 

partners. This study will test the 

reliability and validity of new and 

extant URE items in the REL context. 

Specifically, the study will (1) assess 

how existing items from the URE 

literature perform in a REL context and 

(2) assess the reliability and validity of 

a small set of items from the 

Stakeholder Feedback Surveys (SFS) 

that are currently administered to REL 

partners and used by IES to improve the 

work of REL contractors, inform the REL 

program as a whole, and address 

internal requests such as the 

Congressional Budget Justification. The 

reliability and validity of the new and 

existing survey items will be assessed 

through two data collection activities: 

an online survey administered to a set 

of partnerships across RELs and followup interviews with a subset of REL 

partners.
