Partnership for Early Education Research (PEER)

The Partnership for Early Education Research (PEER) is a research alliance among early childhood stakeholders in Connecticut that aims to conduct rigorous, collaborative, actionable research focused on children from birth through age 8. By pursuing questions developed collaboratively with its partners, PEER aims to produce research that can inform early childhood education policy and practice at the local and state levels, increase access to high-quality early childhood education, and reduce disparities in educational outcomes.

PEER's key partners include:

• Yale School of Medicine;
• Cooperative Educational Services (C.E.S.);
• Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC);
• The Urban Institute;
• Connecticut State Department of Education;
• Connecticut Office of Early Childhood; and
• Communities of Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Stamford.

Funding support for PEER has been provided by the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences (IES), the U.S. Administration for Children and Families’ Office of Planning Research and Evaluation (OPRE), Spencer Foundation, and Connecticut Office of Early Education.
