Researchers are debating whether biases against women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have reduced over time, persist in nearly all training and career contexts, or vary in more nuanced ways across contexts and STEM fields. AIR is synthesizing four decades of research to understand the postsecondary and workforce ...
AIR conducted a literature review and focus groups to identify a reliable and valid Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) to document health outcomes for patients with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD).
This randomized-controlled trial seeks to understand how family-based restorative justice can improve the lives of men and women suffering from addiction as they transition from the criminal justice system back to their communities.
AIR conducted a literature review and environmental scan of the AHRQ Quality Indicators to help inform decisions about the future of the program, including which indicators to prioritize, retain, and refine for use in quality improvement initiatives.
AIR partnered with Fisk and Vanderbilt Universities to research and disseminate information about the Fisk-Vanderbilt Master’s-to-PhD Bridge Program, an initiative that supports diversity and inclusion in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) postsecondary programs.
AIR developed a systematic, transparent, evidence-based protocol to review and translate the extant research about juvenile drug courts and related interventions into comprehensive, reasonable, actionable, understandable, and measurable guidelines.
Researchers focused on integrating computational thinking into the K-5 instruction of general elementary and elementary bilingual teachers in southern Oregon developed a researcher-practitioner partnership (RPP) with funding from the National Science Foundation. AIR was the evaluation partner on SOCSforAll. ...
Since the first Surgeon General’s Report was released in 1964, scientific evidence on smoking and disease has expanded, linking exposure to tobacco smoke with an ever-increasing number of diseases and adverse health consequences. AIR continues to assist the CDC in the production of the report.
AIR is synthesizing empirical evidence on how classroom interventions can increase motivational outcomes (e.g., interests) and retention for undergraduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This project aims to contribute both theoretically and practically to the field by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of two largely separate ...
In an effort to address gender disparities in the computer science field and promote diversity, Girls Who Code (GWC) offers two free virtual summer programs to high school students, specifically designed for female and nonbinary high school students. AIR partnered with GWC to conduct an independent evaluation of the effectiveness ...
