Waas (see record 2003-01789-013) on the mini-series on evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in school psychology (T. R. Kratochwill and K. C. Stoiber see record 2003-01789-005]; G. Lewis-Snyder, K. C. Stoiber, and T. R. Kratochwill see record 2003-01789-007]; and E. S. Shernoff, T. R. Kratochwill, and K. C. Stoiber see record 2003-01789-006]) . A conceptual framework for future operation of the Task Force on Evidence-Based Interventions in School Psychology (hereafter called the Task Force) is presented within the context of identification, review, coding, analyzing and synthesizing, and disseminating research related to EBIs. Reactions to the mini-series are discussed within the context of this framework. Some general comments on future directions of the Task Force are presented along with challenges and merits of EBIs for the practice of school psychology.
