In order to inform the development of
OPRE research, to maintain a research agenda that is rigorous and
relevant, and to ensure that research products are as current as

including semi-structured discussions, focus groups, telephone
interviews, and in-person site visits, in order to integrate the
perspectives of program operators, policy officials and members of
the research community.
