Michael J. Feuer describes what he sees as a "perfect storm" gathering in the sea of education research. He notes the convergence of three important trends: the rise in strategic education philanthropy; the decline in federal funding; and the growing influence of nonacademic think tanks. Together, he cautions, the combination of these forces threatens scientific research and the effort to generate independent, credible evidence.
