This proposal requests grant funding for a small-scale, exploratory study designed to develop new analytic tools for examining the relationship between strategies for systemic reform of urban educational practices and student achievement. The research outlined in this proposal builds upon work that Westat has been performing for the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Systemic Initiative (SI) programs over the past 8 years. Specifically, Westat proposes to collect trend data that can be used to characterize the range of activities that have received support under the various Urban Systemic Initiative projects. Westat also plans to conduct case studies and other analyses to explore the relationship between specific educational reform practices and student achievement. Specifically, the proposed research represents a venture into emerging and potentially transformative research ideas, as well as application of new approaches to an established research topic i.e., the exploration of new methods for assessing the link between educational reform and student performance on accountability assessments.

该提案要求为一项小规模的探索性研究提供赠款，该研究旨在开发新的分析工具，以研究城市教育实践系统改革战略与学生成绩之间的关系。该提案中概述的研究建立在Westat在过去8年中为美国国家科学基金会（NSF）系统倡议（SI）计划所做的工作基础上。具体而言，Westat建议收集趋势数据，这些数据可用于描述在各种城市系统倡议项目下获得支助的活动范围。Westat还计划进行案例研究和其他分析，以探讨具体的教育改革实践与学生成绩之间的关系。 具体而言，拟议的研究代表了对新兴和潜在变革性研究思想的冒险，以及对既定研究主题（即，探索教育改革与学生成绩问责性评价挂钩的新方法。
