Established in 2006 through a major research and development grant from the Institute of Education Sciences, the National Center on Performance Incentives (NCPI) conducts scientific, comprehensive research on the effects of performance incentives in education.
The National Center on Performance Incentives provides publications related to our focused program of research. As the premier research source on the role of performance incentives in education, the Center publishes books and monographs, working papers, and policy reports.
The National Center on Performance Incentives will host a national conference on performance-related pay in February, 2008. The conference will bring together scholars from multiple disciples to debate the merits and weaknesses of performance-related pay policies for educators.
