Call for Public Comment

IES-Funded Efficacy, Replication, and Effectiveness Studies

Each year, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) invites applications for education and special education research projects that address one of five research goals, including Efficacy and Replication (Goal 3) and Effectiveness (Goal 4).

Today, IES is requesting your feedback on whether Goals 3 and 4 (as currently configured) are meeting the needs of the field, or whether we should consider making changes to incentivize and support more replication and effectiveness studies.

Learn more about this call and how to provide input here.
