Good to see @beckamaynard's article on meta-analysis https://t.co/mD2qBT7YEL stressing the need for attention to costs in evaluations of educational programs. Includes a welcome shout-out for our online modules on cost analysis/CEA https://t.co/PELc8QNLDY.

Revised chart on @IESResearch cost analysis/CEA requirements just posted to include the Spec Ed research RFAs issued yesterday. Like the regular research program, pretty much unchanged in WHEN to use these methods but less prescriptive on how. https://t.co/4XO3ux1UbV

@IESResearch RFAs released yesterday for research grants are much less prescriptive on methods for cost analysis and CEA but pretty much unchanged on WHEN
you must include a cost analysis or CEA plan. Updated CAP Project summary chart posted here: https://t.co/KZEDxcvO7K

Just posted an updated database of national avg prices in E$timator https://t.co/cPiFKCV77P and at https://t.co/4XO3ux1UbV, thanks to @cypress2038. One new addition: home office space $15.94/hr which you can then amortize over a period of time like 30 yrs.

Just what you need on Valentine's Day: an updated database of national average fringe benefit rates. Available in E$timator https://t.co/UEvxjIKEKA or https://t.co/4XO3ux2s1t. You can use 55.39% as a standard rate for K-12 educators ($55.39 of fringe on top of each $100 earned).

Good to see others applying the Standards for the Economic Evaluation of Educational and Social Programs to CEAs. We should all consult these as we plan our own studies - staying realistic about how many we can meet on our budgets

Happy new year! Nothing quite like spending the holidays polishing @IESResearch proposals for a 1/11 due date. Have you included attention to costs of the interventions you are studying? Our updated chart summarizes cost analysis requirements for each RFA: https://t.co/Nvssn7twbI

When doing cost analysis in education using a societal perspective, don't forget to ask teachers how much of their own money they might be spending on classroom supplies. https://t.co/LjfXXtLbf5

Just posted slides, script, and recording from yesterday's TA session on how to address cost analysis and CEA reqs/recs in this year's @IESResearch RFAs on our home page https://t.co/gtAMWuUfn2. Lots of really useful questions asked and answered, thanks everyone who participated!

[CAP Project @The_CAP_Project]

Reminder that we are offering a free TA session shortly (2pm ET) about the cost analysis and CEA reqs/recs in the IES RFAs. @IESResearch Program Officer Katie Taylor will join us to help answer your questions. Register here https://t.co/4xRUFcE9gX

In a new guest blog, researchers from @The_CAP_Project discuss their free, online modules that support researchers in developing a cost analysis. https://t.co/MZVaXd3Vi5

[CAP Project @The_CAP_Project]

Benefits and costs to learners of participating in non-degree credentials are addressed in this webcast. Next question is whether such credentials are valuable enough to employers to merit their financial support for employees earning them. https://t.co/jfwhTooWfW

Another event coming up on June 14 from the Costing Community of Practice, this time on low cost and scalable interventions in the justice sector https://t.co/1lNVAxGRVO

How can districts sustain investments in educational technology? This article offers some insights into eligible federal resources, but we'd recommend starting with a cost feasibility analysis in order to have robust estimates of how much programs cost

As COVID relief funds run out, districts will face reduced budgets in California and beyond. Cost analysis tools, like our cost-effectiveness (CE) plane one pager, could help districts decide how best to use available resources. https://t.co/Ul2OT5Zqta

@CEGA_UC is offering a free brown bag introducing a new tool for integrating cost research with randomized evaluations of development interventions. Mark your calendars for April 19th!
