The National Educational Research Policy and Priorities Board: Its Role, Development and Prospects - January 1999

National Educational Research
Policy and Priorities Board

The National Educational Research Policy and Priorities Board (NERPPB) is authorized by the Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act of 1994. The Board was established to work collaboratively with the Assistant Secretary of the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) to forge a national consensus with respect to a long-term agenda for educational research, development, dissemination, and the activities of the Office. The Board regularly reviews, evaluates, and publicly comments upon the implementation of its policies by the U.S. Department of Education and the Congress.

The Board has compiled this paper to inform the public about its activities and accomplishments since its establishment in 1994 and to sketch out its prospective role for the future.

Members of the Board are appointed by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education by virtue of their training, experience, and background in educational research and the education professions.
