JESUIT EDUCATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE (JERI)

Jesuit Educational Research Institute (JERI) is an independent and nonprofit organization focused on bridging the gap between empirical information and non-empirical information in our society. As an academic research and evaluation institute, JERI seeks to foster educational research and evaluation, inform policy and/or reform, and serve academic and educational activities. Founded on the principle of “illuminating the masses”, JERI seeks to enlighten the masses through academic, empirical, and scientific studies to increase verifiable information and knowledge. One of the challenges that our society faces today is the lack of empirical studies to inform many topics, subject matters, and areas that affect the safety, health, and well-being of individuals, communities, and our nation at large. JERI is that bridge that seeks to close that gap. We hope to partner with the government and other organizations to harness the power of research and evaluation to help individuals and communities change the world.
