multidisciplinary research faculty representing education, psychology, child
development, policy, and economics. NIEER offers independent research-based
analysis, technical assistance, and professional development to policymakers
throughout New Jersey, across the nation, and internationally. NIEER's studies
have been published in top scientific journals, as well as nonacademic formats
designed to meet the needs of policymakers and practitioners for timely,
accurate, and succinct reports focused on issues of current concern. NIEER
