1. The EEF Data Archive: Plans & Priorities
James Turner, Deputy CEO

2. Background
Data Archive part of EEF vision from the start – ‘whole will be greater than the sum of its parts’
Make the most of the combined power of data from EEF projects
Track the impact of projects longitudinally
We now have 58 projects in the archive, managed by FFT, covering 200,000 children in hundreds of schools
Process in place to track medium and long term educational impacts of individual EEF projects
But what about opportunities to learn across EEF trials?

3. Priorities ‘Lessons’ from EEF work, e.g.
Features of effective interventions – dosage, training models, duration etc.
Differential impacts of projects on different groups – particularly FSM
Investigate the cumulative impact of projects on schools and pupils
Which projects are easiest to implement and why?
Methodological questions to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of our work – for example, research design, outcomes, analysis choices
Understanding more about other longer term impacts – e.g. progression, earnings, decreases in negative behaviours in adulthood

4. How to apply Twin track approach:
EEF will commission projects in areas of strategic interest
Open to other good research ideas
Envisage grants typically around c£15-20k – but usefulness of the project to EEF mission is most important
Outputs to be agreed on a case-by-case basis
Data permissions routed through EEF
