Training Opportunity: Summer 2022 IES Methods Trainings in Economic Evaluation

Applications are now open for two sessions of the IES-funded Methods Training in Economic Evaluation, offered by CBCSE in Summer 2022. The trainings will take place in person at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, PA).

We will offer two trainings in July 2022: a 3-day training designed for state and local analysts who support significant policy decisions and the allocation of educational resources within and across districts, and a 5-day training designed for education researchers who are undertaking or planning to undertake cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost analyses in education. The 3-day analyst training will take place from Wednesday, July 6 - Friday, July 8. The 5-day researcher training will take place from Monday, July 11 - Friday, July 15.

The training programs will be led by Dr. Brooks Bowden (Penn GSE), Dr. Henry Levin (Teachers College, Columbia University), Dr. Clive Belfield (Queens College, CUNY), Dr. Rob Shand (American University), and Dr. Viviana Rodriguez (University of Wisconsin-Madison).

Each training session will serve 30 trainees. Following IES requirements, applicants must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents; researchers must be conducting research on matters related to U.S. education policy. There is no cost to attend the training, but participants are responsible for their own travel, lodging, and meals. Financial support is available for select attendees based upon need and merit of the application.
