About the company
Strategic Education Research Partnership Institute, doing business as Serp Institute, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, that operates as a federal grant recipient developing K–12 educational research, assessment tools, and instructional materials. The organization does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grants from the Department of Education and the National Science Foundation, where it acts as both a prime recipient (65% of awards) and a sub-recipient on university-led projects (35% of awards).
Serp Institute's capability portfolio centers on educational research, curriculum design, and student learning analytics. As prime grant recipient, the organization has pursued two major initiatives: the Student Tutoring and Research Initiative (STARI) model for K–12 achievement improvement, funded by a $16.5 million Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education project grant (CFDA 84.411) running from January 2023 through December 2027 for scaling and dissemination, and a $316,500 National Science Foundation Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences grant (CFDA 47.075) awarded July 1, 2026, focused on developing AI-enabled assessment tools to analyze student handwritten mathematical responses, diagnose error patterns, and identify problem-solving strategies across grades 4–10 using data from over 3,500 students and 700,000 work samples. A completed Institute of Education Sciences grant from September 2022 through August 2024 supported adaptation of STARI to accelerate reading achievement in middle grades; another IES award running through August 2026 focuses on sustaining literacy practices through micro-credentialing. As a sub-recipient, Serp Institute collaborates on Vanderbilt University and University of Houston System–led grants, providing instructional content development, material design, graphic design and production, and open education resource hosting and dissemination support.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences (14 awards, 95% of award count) with smaller exposure to the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Recent activity has been variable—three awards in 2022, declining to one in 2025, then returning to three in 2026—with only one award facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $55.7 million against a reported combined potential value of $1 thousand, a data anomaly driven by the large Education grant obligations; the NSF mathematical reasoning project represents the most recent substantive prime award and the most imminent new-start in the active pipeline.
