IES Research Goal Structure
Goals:
- Exploration projects identify malleable factors associated with student education outcomes and/or the factors and conditions that mediate or moderate these relationships.
- Development and Innovation projects develop new interventions and the further development of existing interventions that are intended to produce beneficial impacts on student education outcomes when implemented in authentic education settings.
- Efficacy and Replication projects evaluate fully-developed education interventions to determine whether they produce a beneficial impact on student education outcomes when they are implemented under ideal or routine conditions by the end user in authentic education settings.
- Effectiveness projects evaluate education interventions with prior evidence of efficacy to determine whether they produce a beneficial impact on student education outcomes when they are implemented by the end user under routine conditions in authentic education settings.
- Measurement projects develop new assessments or refine existing assessments, or validate existing assessments for specific purposes, contexts, and populations, that are intended to be used in an authentic education setting to improve child or student outcomes and/or support special education or early intervention research.
