Included within the ERTA was a provision called the 'Credit for Increasing Research Activities' (the Credit). The Credit was tailored to reverse the decline in U.S. research spending by providing an incentive that was premised on benefiting increases in (as opposed to total) year over year research spending.
This charge was most recently renewed in 1996 when CSE successfully competed for the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), receiving a five-year, [clarification needed] $13.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI).

Persuasive utilization is the enlistment of evaluation results in an effort to persuade an audience to either support an agenda or to oppose it.

Post-test analyses include data after the intervention from the intervention group only.
The test is offered by the College Board. Approximately 2,900 colleges and universities will grant college credits for each test. Both U.S. and international schools grant CLEP credit. Most of the tests are 90 minutes long. As of 2023, they cost $90 each; they will cost $93 in the 2023–2024 school year. [2]
A subsequent research assessment was conducted in 1989 under the name "research selectivity exercise" by the Universities Funding Council. Responding to the complaint of the universities that they weren't allowed submit their "full strength," Swinnerton-Dyer allowed the submission of two research outputs per every member of staff.
