In this webinar, Michael Weiss and John Diamond will discuss MDRC’s The
Higher Education Randomized Controlled Trial (THE-RCT) restricted-access
dataset, recently released at the Inter-university Consortium for Political
and Social Research (ICPSR). THE-RCT is the largest individual-participant
dataset from higher education randomized controlled trials to date,
containing de-identified data from more than 25 MDRC random assignment
evaluations encompassing 50 higher education institutions and 65,000
students! MDRC researchers are currently using this database to explore
research questions such as:

   - What happens to program effects after the program ends?
   - Which program components (for example, enhanced advising, financial
   support, or tutoring) are associated with larger improvements in student
   success?
   - What sized improvements in student success can various programs
   reasonably expect to achieve?

MDRC and ICPSR hope this dataset will inspire new scholarship that will
help improve outcomes for low-income, underrepresented, and underprepared
students, who have long been a focus of MDRC’s higher education studies.
The dataset will continue to grow as MDRC and other organizations conduct
additional higher education RCT studies, making it a more useful resource
over time. We hope that you can attend this webinar to learn more about
this exciting new resource!

*This webinar is free and open to the public. This webinar will be
recorded. The recording will be available on the ICPSR YouTube page.*

Accessibility Accommodations: Automated live captioning will be available.
