What Works Clearinghouse Announces Two New Contract Awards


IES awarded two new What Works Clearinghouse<https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/> (WWC) contracts to extend the WWC’s work of reviewing research on various programs, products, policies, and practices in education, with the goal of providing educators with the information they need to make evidence-based decisions. The newly-awarded contracts will contribute to this mission, focusing on different aspects of the work:

  *   The Statistics, Website, and Training (WWC-SWAT) contract was awarded to the American Institutes for Research earlier this month. The WWC-SWAT supports the entire WWC investment and includes the website, the development of revised WWC standards and procedures, reviewer training and certification, and communication.
  *   The Organization of Reporting of Evidence on Graduation, Achievement, and Nonacademic Outcomes (WWC-OREGANO) was awarded to Mathematica Policy Research and focuses on evidence reviews of education interventions in early childhood, elementary and secondary school through high school graduation. The contract will review research for new and updated intervention reports, produce products based on quick reviews and individual study reviews requested by IES, and create new products to disseminate WWC findings.

Established in 2002, the WWC is an investment of the Institute of Education Sciences<https://ies.ed.gov/>.
