The Director's Column

The National Institute on Educational Governance, Finance, Policy Making, and Management is launching a quarterly newsletter to improve communication with our customers. The mission of the Institute is to provide leadership and support for research and development that will be useful to policy makers, practitioners, and researchers. In this first newsletter we are reprinting our brochure (see National Institute on Education Governance, Finance, Policy Making, and Management ), which describes our mission, staff, and current programs. We hope you will remove it and keep it for future reference.

In this and each subsequent newsletter, we hope to provide you with at least one article that will summarize important research findings, discuss their significance and utility, and provide you with sources of more information on the topic. Our newsletter will also keep you abreast of research grants made, upcoming grant competitions, national policy initiatives, and other news of interest.

Your ideas about the substance of our program or about communication mechanisms are always welcome.

Deborah Inman
