Research Agenda Subcommittee

The Research Agenda Subcommittee identified parameters for research on the six priority areas specified in legislation: Long-term outcomes of early childhood services; long-term outcomes of primary school interventions; college readiness for high school students; timeframes for community college students to transfer to four-year colleges and earn a baccalaureate degree; impact of financial aid on educational and career outcomes; and employment outcomes after students exit education.

The Research Agenda Subcommittee concluded its meetings in August 2020. The information on this page is for reference only.
