Reports and Resources
REL Midwest conducts short-term research and development according to needs-based data, as well as long-term studies using randomized controlled trials. Reports that result from short-term projects are available as two ongoing Web-based series—Issues & Answers and REL Technical Briefs. Both undergo external peer review to ensure that they meet IES standards for scientifically based research before being published.
Take advantage of Ask A REL—a collaborative reference desk service provided by the REL Program and sponsored by IES. Ask A REL functions like a technical reference library and provides referrals, references, and region-specific education information.
