Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) developed a Research Agenda in collaboration with internal and external stakeholders as part of a Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) grant received in September 2015. As part of this project, the agency identified topics and questions that are aligned with the agency’s goals and priorities. While the Research Agenda outlines areas of interest, the Department does not have resources committed to answering each question; as such, PDE would welcome proposals from independent, non-partisan researchers interested in addressing these questions and topic areas.
