Support for NSF's Discovery Research K-12 (DR-K12) Program Grantees

This project provides logistical and substantive support to the IMD, TPC, and DR-K12 grantees funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Working collaboratively with the principal investigators and NSF program officers over a five-year period, EDC has coordinated four of five annual Principal Investigators conferences and is establishing a knowledge-transfer network that includes developing print and Web-based resources to ensure ongoing, high-quality dialogue and sharing among grantees. Each year’s meeting and subsequent follow-up builds upon the previous year’s agenda and focuses on sharing knowledge within the TPC community and across the larger community that includes science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educators and researchers and K–12 STEM practitioners.
