Discovery Research PreK-12 Program Resource Center on Transformative Education Research and Translation (DRK-12 RC)

<p>This solicitation seeks proposals for the Discovery Research PreK-12 program&rsquo;s Resource Center (DRK-12 RC) on&nbsp;Transformative Education Research and Translation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The DRK-12 RC will be an intellectual partner as NSF seeks to enhance the overall influence and reach of the DRK-12 Program&rsquo;s research and development investments. In this partner role, the DRK-12 RC will support and recruit diverse, multi-sector constituencies with the goal of achieving the field-, knowledge-, and partnership-building aims of the DRK-12 program.&nbsp; Further, it is expected that the Resource Center&nbsp;on&nbsp;Transformative Education Research and Translation will play a central role in helping the DRK-12 Program to:</p>

<p>(1) identify and share promising resources, tools, approaches, and research findings with teachers, school leaders and administrators and policymakers for feedback, strategic use and the advancement of science;</p>

<p>(2) facilitate communication and collaboration among current, former, and prospective DRK-12 award recipients as a means of building STEM education researchers&rsquo; capacity to conduct rigorous and meaningful work across the full range of project types supported by the program; and</p>

<p>(3) further raise the national visibility of the DRK-12 program's goals and impacts.</p>

<p>The DRK-12 RC is expected to work collaboratively with NSF and the DRK-12 Program&rsquo;s constituent communities&mdash;including other NSF resource hubs and centers&mdash;to design, implement, and evaluate these three broad activities.</p>
