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.
