Partner Hubs and Institutes
Partner Hubs and Institutes
The ECR Hub advances shared goals with other ECR-funded hubs and institutes that focus on specific methods and practices, as well as with the resource centers for other NSF programs.
BCSER Institutes and Data Resource Hubs
The ECR-funded BCSER Institutes for Methods and Practices provide participants with training and support in cutting-edge methodological techniques and/or research practices relevant to STEM education research.
BCSER Institutes
Currently active BCSER Institutes:
- Advanced Quantitative Methods to Broaden STEM Education Participation: Training Next Generations of Researchers (SIARM II)
- Building Capacity for Equitable Research on STEM Learning Processes using Quantitative Ethnography (QE Fellows)
- Expanding the Methods of Education Research with Generative AI (EMERGai)
- Institute in Critical Quantitative, Computational, and Mixed Methods Training For Underrepresented Scholars (ICQCM)
- Learning Analytics in STEM Education Research Institute (LASER)
- Modern Meta-Analysis Research Institute (MMARI)
- Natural Language Processing in STEM Education Research (NLP Assist)
- Promoting Investigators’ Capacity in STEM Education Literature Synthesis (PICSELS)
- The ProQual Institute for Interpretive Research Methods in STEM Education
Previously funded, but no longer active, BSCER institutes have included:
- Improving Evaluations of R&D in STEM Education
- Institute for Measurement Methods in Rural STEM Education
- Institute on Equity-Oriented Mixture Modeling for Discipline-Based Education Research Scholars (MM4DBER)
- Maryland Collaborative for Research in Urban STEM Education (MD-CRUSE)
- Professional Development for Emerging Education Researchers (PEER) Field Schools (PEER Institute)
- Quantitative Research Methods for STEM Education Scholars Program (QRM Scholars)
In addition, the ECR Hub has partnered with the two previously funded ECR Data Resource Hubs: the Partnership for Expanding Education Research in STEM (PEERS Hub) and Open Science Framework (OSF) STEM Education Hub.
Other Resource Hubs and NSF Programs
The ECR Hub complements the resource centers for other NSF programs that more heavily focus on applied research projects that develop, test, and implement STEM educational interventions (see here for more on how ECR differs from these other programs):
- AISL: Reimagining Equity and Values in Informal STEM Education (REVISE) Center
- ATE: Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Central
- DRK-12: Community for Advancing Discovery Research in Education
- DRK-12: Evidence Quality and Reach (EQR) Hub
- HSI: UNIDOS Center for HSI Community Coordination
- IGE: Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) Hub
- ITEST: STEM Learning and Research Center (STELAR)
- IUSE: AAAS Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) Initiative
- NOYCE: The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program
- S-STEM: Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) Resource & Evaluation Center
- STEM K-12: The Center for STEM Education Research and Translation
Also, the SafeInsights project allows STEM education researchers to leverage large-scale datasets from digital learning platforms.
