Dramatic Funding Loss & Impact on New Research 30%30%

75% 75% fewer research grants in % of high quality grants funded in 2013, down from 12% in 2012

CEC’s ESRA Recommendations Strengthen National Center for Special Education Research Bridge Research-to- Practice Gap Recognize Special/Gifted Ed in Institute for Education Sciences Support, Strong Consistent Leadership 12

Strengthening Education Through Research Act Introduced on 4/2/14 and Approved by Full House on 5/8/14 by Representatives Kline (R-MN), Miller (D- CA), Rokita (R-IN), McCarthy (D-CA) Includes key CEC Recommendations: Prioritizing special education research funding within the Institute of Education Sciences. Emphasizing the elimination of the achievement gap between students with and without disabilities. Increasing dissemination and collaboration with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). Increasing the pipeline of early career special education researchers. Ensuring peer reviewers have expertise in areas relevant to grant applications. CEC has significant concerns as funding levels are far too low 13

Strengthening Education Through Research Act S.227 Introduced by Senator Alexander (R-TN) on February 4, 2015 Very similar to House Bill CEC has significant concerns as funding levels are far too low 14

Strengthening Education Through Research Act House Education and the Workforce Committee Report “[The Strengthening Education Through Research Act] includes important policy changes to address requests from the special education community, including the Council for Exceptional Children and National Center for Learning Disabilities.” May 2014

Strengthening Education Through Research Act Prioritizing special education research funding within the Institute of Education Sciences. “Most importantly, SETRA proposes to prioritize funding for special education research…the bill will allow for increased funding for NCSER each year the bill is authorized and authorizes a 12.9 percent increase …in the least year of the bill.” -House Education & the Workforce Committee Report -May 2014
