Description¶

A design report by Mathematica Policy Research researchers for evaluating the Effective Practice Incentive Community initiative, an education program. The report states: "This report details our estimation procedures, documents what is currently known about how EPIC operates within the various partners, and provides a work plan for the evaluation." It serves as a methodological planning document rather than a findings report, laying out how the evaluation of EPIC across partner organizations would be carried out.
