Reprinted from Message from IES Director
A while ago, I wrote to say that IES was working on developing research quality standards inspired by the famous LEED building standards. Our goal in developing these standards is to identify the domains and the core questions that, from the IES perspective, constitute the most important dimensions of high quality education research.
Paralleling LEED procedures, we intend to create tiers of excellence (Platinum, Gold, etc.). These award levels will be appearing on the What Works Clearinghouse. It is important to remember that these levels will be in addition to the evidence standards that make the WWC so crucially important.
Several new features have been added in the new version of the Grants.gov Mobile App.
You can download the Grants.gov app today for iOS and Android devices.
Some of the new features include the following:
ResearchVault (ResVault) is UF’s secure computing environment for scientists and collaborators to conduct research on restricted and confidential data.
The system is modeled on a bank vault where you receive the following:
A secure area within the vault to privately access your valuables
