Project Abstract: This project provides consultant services to the Ohio Department of Education to assist them in the development of competitive grant solicitations, the development of scoring rubrics used to score submitted applications, the training of readers to score the applications, the analysis of reader scores to establish competitive merit among the scored applications and to provide consultation on the interpretation of the analyzed results. The analyses are conducted using an Item Response Theory procedure to simultaneously calibrate the scoring rubric used in the scoring, the leniency/severity of the readers and the calibrated merit of each application. The analyses are conducted through a blinded data set to determine the ranking of each competitive application based on the theory based measurement program. The consultant provides the contracting agency support to each of the competitive grant programs offered by the Ohio Department of Education. More Information
