The Summer Research Training Institute for Quasi-Experimental Design and Analysis was designed to increase the national capacity of researchers to develop and conduct rigorous evaluations of the impact of education interventions. The original workshops were co-organized by Thomas Cook, Joan and Sarepta Harrison Chair Emeritus in Ethics and Justice and Professor Emeritus, Northwestern University, and William Shadish, Professor, Founding Faculty, and Chair, Psychological Sciences Section University of California, Merced (now deceased).

This two-week, in-depth training institute covered a range of specific topics in the design, implementation, and analysis of data for use in cluster-randomized trials, allowing researchers to account for the group effects of teachers and classrooms when measuring an intervention’s effects on individual student achievement. Support comes from the National Center for Education Research, housed in the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences.
