The University of Pennsylvania received a $154,791 federal project grant from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) under the Education Research, Development and Dissemination program (CFDA 84.305). The grant, awarded on January 1, 2024, will fund a study to improve educational outcomes and expand knowledge across all levels of education. The project involves conducting research, developing and evaluating educational interventions, creating resources for educators, and disseminating findings.

The project includes a sub-award to the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) to serve as a co-principal investigator. NORC will oversee the literature review, coding, and meta-analysis, as well as assist with project management and dissemination activities. This partnership leverages NORC's expertise in social science research and analytics to support the overall grant objectives.
