Welcome to the Center for Education Policy, Applied Research, & Evaluation

The Center for Education Policy, Applied Research, and Evaluation (CEPARE), in the College of Education and Human Development of the University of Southern Maine, provides assistance to school districts, agencies, organizations, and university faculty by conducting research, evaluation, and policy studies.

In addition, CEPARE co-directs the Maine Education Policy Research Institute (MEPRI), an institute jointly funded by the Maine State Legislature and the University of Maine System.  This institute was established to conduct studies on Maine education policy and the Maine public education system for the Maine Legislature.
