Since 2002, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) has funded more than 400 research grants through the National Center for Education Research. This document lists the publications that have resulted from these projects. Publications from IES grantees include articles intended for scientific audiences, as well as articles written for general audiences. The topics span the range from basic translational research to the evaluation of state education policies. As the publishing process is dynamic, and new articles are appearing regularly, IES plans to update this list at regular intervals. Contents contain publications in: (1) Cognition and Student Learning; (2) Education Leadership; (3) Education Policy, Finance, and Systems; (4) Education Technology; (5) Mathematics and Science Education; (6) National Research and Development Centers; (7) Preschool Curriculum Evaluation Research; (8) Reading and Writing; (9) Social and Character Development; (10) Teacher Quality-- Mathematics and Science; (11) Teacher Quality--Reading and Writing; and (12) Unsolicited and Other Awards.
The National Institute of Education (NIE) has undertaken a number of projects to increase the participation of minorities and women in its activities. These projects include the unsolicited proposal program, the small and disadvantaged business utilization program, the minorities' and women's program, and the black college initiatives program. These efforts are designed to increase awareness in NIE programs and to provide greater opportunities for minorities and women to participate. The NIE equal employment opportunity (EEO) profile has improved since 1973. Its minority and female workforce is generally representative, or in some cases overrepresentative, of the general U.S. population. The unsolicited proposal program has not significantly increased the number of NIE-funded, minority- and women-managed projects. NIE has initiated steps to increase minority and female participation in its programs. Although some of these efforts have started to show improvements, the effectiveness of these measures depends largely on how much attention and funding are devoted to them.
