ÐÜèÊÓÆµengages with all federal agencies funding education research with particular interest in the Institute of Education Sciences, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. To this end, ÐÜèÊÓÆµactively participates in coalitions of the scientific community to most effectively support funding and resources for federal research and statistics.

In addition, ÐÜèÊÓÆµshowcases the efforts of association members in various activities to raise awareness of their important research contributions that have been funded by the federal government.
