Staff
The Research Alliance team includes researchers with expertise in quantitative and qualitative methods, data management, information technology, and other key skills essential to executing rigorous education research. Our staff stay well informed of key issues in NYC schools and in other urban school districts. We plan and execute research projects and events with researchers from NYU, other universities, and research organizations. While maintaining our independence, the Research Alliance works with the New York City Department of Education (DOE) to identify important research questions and disseminate research findings to help solve problems and build capacity in NYC public schools.
