Perhaps people have addressed this issue on the listserv many times before, 
but I have come across the same issue.  How much adult ed "research"--or 
applicable adult ed research--is there to base instruction on--and what 
constitutes "research" in the views of the writers of the adult ed (or family 
lit) RFPs? Sometimes it is not the RFP writers themselves who demand that 
adult ed be research-based--in the case of government grants, this demand for 
scientifically-based instruction often stems from legislation.
