He and Joan McLaughlin have been taking stock of programs at the Institute of Education Sciences ( IES ) programs and soliciting input from the public, researchers, and practitioners about improving the programs the National Center for Education Research ( NCER) and the National Center for Special Education Research ( NCSER) support. In particular, they are seeking comments on unmet needs that NCER and NCSER could address. Dr. Brock said that requests for applications (RFAs) go out in the spring, and participants are welcome to suggest changes to existing programs or highlight new opportunities. Dr. Emily Doolittle emphasized that the goal of the meeting was to gather participants’ best thinking about emerging needs.  \nDr. McLaughlin added that she is concerned about rural education for two reasons. First, children with disabilities have a hard time finding support in rural areas. Second, it is often difficult to include children from rural areas in the research NCSER supports.  \nCurrent Issues in Rural Education Research  \nParticipants were asked to describe briefly the big issues they see in their work in rural education. Their responses are summarized and grouped under common themes listed below. (Commenters are identified by their initials in parentheses. )  \nCommunity and Context  \nResearchers should better understand the rural communities in which they work (AB, DW) . The demographics of rural communities and their school populations are changing (HH, SS) . Schools need flexibility to adapt to their communities’local context, needs, and changing demographics (DW) . The political context, such as historic, concentrated poverty, and oppression, has an impact on the community and schools (DW) . Technology can seem like a panacea, but not all the answers come from the outside. How can rural communities inform the impact of technology on rural areas (CX)? The focus needs to be on place and how deeply innovation goes, not how many people get through a program (DW) .  \nPeople in small towns value work and place. Individuals’ connections to their communities could be leveraged to combat brain drain (LVF, TF) . Job opportunities in the community and student career goals should inform educational research and programs.
