The SERVE Center (UNC-Greensboro), the Carolina Institute for Public Policy (UNC-Chapel Hill), and the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation (North Carolina State University) formed the Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation – North Carolina (CERE-NC) to support their ongoing collaborative efforts to conduct research and evaluation of public education in North Carolina. The Consortium pursues opportunities to improve the education of the students of North Carolina by providing relevant, accurate, and timely research to policymakers, educators, parents, and students.
The Consortium originally formed in 2010 to utilize the diverse expertise and capacities of the three partner organizations to provide the breadth, depth, and rigor needed to conduct research and evaluation activities required by North Carolina’s Race to the Top proposal to the U.S. Department of Education.
