Center for Connecticut Education Research Collaboration

A ground-breaking, first-of-its-kind research collaborative of public and private universities across Connecticut

The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) used federal coronavirus relief funds to establish the Center for Connecticut Education Research Collaboration (CCERC) (formerly Connecticut COVID-19 Education Research Collaborative). The partnership was subsequently institutionalized to respond to ongoing evaluation and research needs of the CSDE, provide research opportunities for Connecticut researchers, and foster collaboration across the state’s institutions of higher education.

The mission of CCERC is to address pressing issues in the state's public schools through high quality evaluation and research that leverages the expertise of researchers from different institutions possessing varied methodological expertise and content knowledge.
