Professor Bowden’s research aims to mitigate the challenges related to poverty that prevent students from experiencing the full value of schooling. Her applied evaluation research focuses on supporting student learning by leveraging external partnerships with families, communities, and other service agencies in order to enrich the resources provided to students. Her methodological work seeks to simplify the design and integration of research on costs into randomized field trials. Her goal is to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of evaluations by considering the resources (“ingredients”) that result in treatment contrast and impacts – positive, null, negative, and heterogeneous.
