Tools will include NSF by the Numbers, NSF Award Search, NCSES Academic Institution Profiles, and the Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Register

In part 1 of this multi-part webinar series, we explore the power and benefits of authentic partnerships between researchers and K-12 communities. Participants will learn how collaborative approaches strengthen study design and increase real-world impact. We will review some real-world examples of effective partnerships, before discussing practical guidance on building relationships outside your institution. Whether you are new to community-engaged research or looking to deepen existing collaborations, this first session lays out the foundation for identifying potential K-12 community partners and establishing relationships built on trust.

Oftentimes, the full story of a research proposal is revealed through the connections drawn in the ancillary documents like bio sketches, facilities descriptions, letters of support, and others.  These documents establish expertise, breadth of professionalism, as well as the researchers’ knowledge and scholarship in their field and with their collaborators.  However, the importance of these documents is often underplayed, which results in underdeveloped documents and an incomplete proposal story.  This presentation will outline the documents and their importance in supporting the proposed activities. Register
