Up to 169 IES contracts have been canceled, threatening critical education research. This is a major setback for educators & children with disabilities who rely on evidence-based practices. Urge Congress to protect IES research! #4SpecialEducation exceptionalchildren.org/takeaction?v...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

SPED researchers and admin: What journals do you recommend for an article on SPED administrators supporting reading instruction for students with disabilities? I am seeing JOSEL (CASE journal) but open to other options!

Prepping for an interview tomorrow has pushed me to reflect on all of the research that I've been so lucky to have worked on and learned from since I started my PhD journey (not to mention the coolest and most generous mentors I've had along the way). Dang. Humbled and beyond grateful.
