About LEARN Coalition
LEARN was created with the express purpose of educating members of Congress (House and Senate), their staff, staff of critical congressional committees, and other policy makers about the importance of research on learning and development. Specifically, LEARN advocates for federal investment in multi-disciplinary research to advance the scientific understanding of learning and development. LEARN also highlights innovations underway at member institutions and provides evidenced-based information to assist legislators and policymakers in understanding the importance of research in improving education across the nation.
