A detailed work plan is presented for the conduct of Phase II activities, which are concerned with creating a pilot test file, conducting a test of it, evaluating the process and input of the file, and preparing the file management plan. Due to the outcomes of activities in Phase I, this plan was revised from an earlier outline. Included in the document is a review of Phase I, an overview of methodological and logistical problems, and a statement of work and technical approach; this latter section is subdivided into areas that discuss the rationale for a simulated clearinghouse, the rationale for content options, project management, and objectives and activities associated with the pilot test file. Appendices present lists of members of the Project Advisory Group and the Internal Project Advisory Committee, the Pilot Test Practice File Design, and the National Institute of Education guidelines for the pilot test.
