The National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) is housed at the American Institutes for Research.  The Center draws on the knowledge of many of the nation’s most distinguished data-based individualization (DBI) experts and to advance the field of intensive intervention. The Center is funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and is part of OSEP’s Technical Assistance and Dissemination Network (TA&D).

The mission of the NCII is to build knowledge and capacity of state and local leaders, faculty and professional development providers, educators, and other stakeholders to support implementation of intensive intervention for students with severe and persistent learning and/or behavioral needs using data-based individualization (DBI).
