Overview
This grant would provide funding for a randomized control trial conducted by the Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry and Innovation in Sexual and Reproductive Health at the University of Chicago. The trial would test a digital iPad application, miPlan, in waiting rooms of two Chicago Planned Parenthood clinics. The application contains information on all methods of contraception as well as a video on the most effective contraceptive methods. The researchers will assess whether patients who use miPlan are more likely to choose the most effective forms of contraception.

Grants to this Grantee
for supporting development of a survey of non-cognitive factors in learning
This grant would support a project to develop a survey of a broad range of social and emotional factors, such as perseverance, that are crucial for learning in grades six through twelve.
for a research-practice partnership to test theories of diffusion and scaled impact
Outlier Research & Evaluation, housed at UChicago STEM Education, is a cross-disciplinary, diverse team committed to applied research and evaluation that directly informs educators and policymakers. Outlier will work with the Broward County Public Schools to help educators support critical thinking by having students consider alternate points of view, support statements with evidence, and communicate their thought processes to others. This work will present a replicable model that other districts and states can follow, while also introducing new theories about the spread of innovative practices.
