Cotterell (Co-PI) for receiving a 3-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) Institute of Education Sciences (IES) for a project titled, "Generalized, Multilevel, and Longitudinal Psychometric Models for Evaluating Educational Interventions.” This is a collaborative project with Dr. Matthew Madison (PI) in the UGA College of Education and Dr. Minjeong Jeon (Co-PI) in the UCLA School of Education & Information Studies to develop and make accessible via software a multilevel extension to the longitudinal diagnostic classification model (DCM) that will help education researchers take into account contextual effects that can impact the fidelity and effectiveness of their educational interventions.
