Read ALI’s FY2026 appropriations letter to House and Senate appropriators. In this letter, ALI emphasizes the vital opportunity in education to drive innovation by using research and development to identify, test, and scale solutions to enhance learner outcomes. States are at the center of education, and education R&D needs federal support to modernize state longitudinal data systems (SLDS), leverage artificial intelligence and technology platforms, and provide technical assistance to support and enable local education R&D efforts.

ALI conducts advocacy work thanks to financial support from the Walton Education Coalition (WEC).
