For the last IES grant cycle, the CARES lab obtained a methodology grant, Practical Tools for Large-Scale Evaluation of Text Data in Randomized Trials in Education, with PIs Miratrix, Mozer, and Al-Adeimi, on using text in randomized trials.

We also were part of a second grant with MDRC, Identifying Best Practices for Estimating Average Treatment Effects in Cluster Randomized Trials: Estimands, Estimators, and Estimates, with PIs Miratrix and Weiss, on cluster randomized experiments.

Both grants are focused on understanding the best application of current tools in the field.
