Message from the Director

The ELRC is nationally recognized for conducting rigorous research and evaluation. Maintaining a portfolio of 20 active projects, the ELRC adds credibility and value to over 40 proposals each year, and consults with faculty across the Purdue University campus and beyond on a host of nascent stage projects. ELRC scholarship propels Purdue into the national conversation surrounding evidence-based education reform.
