Strengthening Education Through Research Act Emphasizes the elimination of the achievement gap between students with and without disabilities. Increases dissemination and collaboration with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). Highlights children with disabilities who are also English language learners, gifted and talented. Increases the pipeline of early career special education researchers. Ensures peer reviewers have expertise in areas relevant to grant applications.
