The National Educational Research Forum
In 2003 NERF suggested the name 'D&R' to indicate that programmes were needed in education, as in other fields, that combine research with development of practice. The usual phrase, R&D, was reversed to indicate that often development needs to lead research. Key documents are:

The Innovation Unit
In 2007 the Innovation Unit published a study by Tom Bentley and Sarah Gillinson, drawing on what we know about innovation and research within education and areas such as healthcare, information technology and pharmaceuticals. It examines the importance of users and collaborative development in generating and spreading innovation and calls for greater teacher involvement through D&R.
