Education Finance Research Consortium
The Education Fiance Research
Consortium (EFRC) is an ongoing collaboration between the New York
State Education Department (NYSED) and university-based researchers
with expertise and an interest in education finance. The EFRC
is currently housed at the University at Albany but researchers
who have benefited from EFRC research grants are affiliated with
other universities and colleges, both across New York and elsewhere
in the nation. Findings, recommendations and data revealed by EFRC
research have driven New York State education legislation, regulation,
finance and practice since 1992 and help ground NYSED decision decisions-making
in data and evidence as to best practices, cost-effectiveness, fiscal
matters relating to taxing and spending and the teaching workforce,
among others.
