Protecting Support for Federal Education Research and Data
Print

Federal education research and data are under attack. Actions by the Trump administration are decimating grants, contracts, and data systems that are vital to high-quality research—and to the educators, policymakers, and communities who rely on them. These actions circumvent congressional authority and harm the American public.

If the administration succeeds in dismantling federal education research, educators, school leaders, and policymakers across the country will be forced to make decisions without access to reliable, evidence-based guidance. These cuts threaten student achievement, workforce readiness, and America’s global competitiveness.
