Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) administers, coordinates programs that are related to adult education and literacy, career and technical education, and community colleges.

In addition, the Literacy Information and Communication System, or LINCS, provides many resources, which are vetted by adult literacy experts, for use in adult literacy instruction, administration, and research.

Further, another organization, World Education has many projects, which include adult literacy and adult education professional development, postsecondary transition, and dissemination of resources for adult education.

A research initiative of the Open Door Collective is the Evidence-Based Adult Education System (E-BAES) Taskforce. E-BAES has more than 30 researchers, practitioners, and government officials as members. Two E-BAES papers on adult educators' response to the COVID pandemic were published in 2020 and 2022. 

E-BAES is also studying Learner Return on Investment (LROI). Findings from the LROI pilot are in a 2025 paper, and the LROI study is ongoing in 2026. In 2023-24 World Education led a research initiative on behalf of ALL IN. E-BAES received an ALL IN research grant to plan for LROI on the value of adult foundational education - research findings are in a May 2024 ALL IN blog.
