"IES is really the cornerstone of education research. And so we see it as a good thing that they are taking an empirical eye towards education programs and studying their effectiveness so that that research can identify promising, evidence-based practices and then be scaled across the education system."
"For TRIO that means tracking the use of funding, who is benefiting from its services and how participation translates into improved outcomes."
The Institute of Education Sciences announced two new surveys focusing on loan repayment and TRIO programs. The TRIO survey will track funding usage and participant outcomes, while the loan survey will assess awareness and understanding of income-driven repayment plans. The data collected will help determine the feasibility of future impact evaluations. This move has garnered positive attention from higher education researchers and policy experts, who view it as a necessary step towards empirical assessment of education programs and evidence-based practices.
