Analyzing NCES Data Using EdSurvey: A User's Guide is the first introductory manual dedicated to introducing the EdSurvey R package to the education research community. EdSurvey, an R statistical package, is a free resource tailored for processing and analyzing NCES large-scale education data, including NAEP.   

The 2022 AERA and NCME annual meetings will feature presentations, trainings, and demonstrations relevant to NAEP R&D efforts.

Challenge.gov, the official hub for prize challenges and competitions across the U.S. federal government, allows federal agencies to use prize competitions to incentivize public problem-solvers to identify innovative solutions for difficult issues.

As discussed in the “NAEP R&D 2021 Year in Retrospect,” the EdSurvey program made big strides in 2021, including joining the official NAEP Database Products and the NAEP Data Companion and releasing updated packages with data from NHES, SOCCS, TIMSS 2019, OECD PISA 2018 Financial Literacy, and 2017 US PIACC. In 2022 and beyond, the EdSurvey program will continue to enhance usability and accessibility of NCES and international large-scale assessment data.
