Institute for Educational Research and Public Service

The Institute for Educational Research and Public Service, established in 1997, serves both the School of Education faculty members and the State of Kansas. This Institute has a two-fold mission. The first part of this mission is to provide faculty with infrastructure support for its research. The support includes assistance with identifying funding sources, proposal development, and grant administration. The second part of the Institute's mission is to help schools and other educational agencies respond to initiatives that are educationally beneficial to the State of Kansas and that contribute to the teaching, research, and service missions of the School. The Institute also houses the Assembly of Equity Programs, TRIO programs, and the Kansas Enrichment Network. At the heart of these programs lies an interest in promoting educational opportunity for youth and young adults in the state.
