Selected Projects

Project EF
Project EF is a collaboration between TRI and the Oregon Health

evaluation of the project.

Post-School Outcomes
A collaboration between TRI and the Oregon Department of Education on Post School Outcomes began in 2004 when The Research Institute received a Federal Grant to design and build the system to track educational and employment outcomes for special education students leaving Oregon’s high schools.
