Discovery Research PreK-12 Program Research Center on Transformative Education Research and Translation (DRK-12)
The National Science Foundation announced their DRK-12 RC program aimed at catalyzing research and development that enhances all preK-12 teachers' and students' opportunities to engage in high-quality STEM learning experiences. The DRK-12 program supports efforts that work to advance both scientific knowledge and applied classroom strategies based on strong evidence and have the potential to address longstanding challenges, inequities, and opportunities in formal education. It is expected that the DRK-12 Resource Center (DRK-12 RC) on Transformative Education Research and Translation will be an intellectual partner to the program and work collaboratively with the NSF and its DRK-12 program's primary communities.
