As a 5-year resource center, the EHR Core Research – Resource Coordination Hub (ECR Hub) is designed to advance the ways in which NSF’s ECR Core (ECR) and ECR Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (ECR:BCSER) programs can better use and support fundamental research on STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development. ECR-funded research has the potential to address pressing national problems by developing foundational knowledge that can guide and inform the broader set of federal STEM education investments. To help realize that long-term potential, the ECR Hub has two central goals: (a) extend the influence and reach of existing ECR investments (e.g., existing research results, existing ECR methods training institutes) and (b) provide ECR career development opportunities to current and potential grantees. The ECR Hub will conduct outreach to researcher communities and institutions currently underrepresented in the ECR portfolio.The ECR Hub will target three core, immediate audiences: current ECR grantees, prospective ECR grantees, and stakeholders in other NSF Education and Human Resources (EHR) programs reached via coordinating with other EHR resource hubs. The ECR Hub will engage, support, and build connections among and across these audiences through a coordinated set of six key project activities: (1) identifying the needs of a diverse ECR grantee community, (2) cataloging and synthesizing past and current ECR research, (3) building research networks and information sharing for current grantees, (4) conducting outreach and broadening participation of prospective grantees, (5) consolidating and disseminating resources from ECR methods training institutes, and (6) building cross-hub collaborations to advance long-term ECR program goals. The American Institutes for Research is the lead institution for the ECR Hub, working in close partnership with scholars from Morgan State University, Northwestern University, and Georgia State University. Partner to Improve will serve as the external evaluator, and an institutionally diverse and multidisciplinary advisory board will help guide the ECR Hub goals and activities.This project is supported by NSF's EHR Core Research (ECR) program. The ECR program emphasizes fundamental STEM education research that generates foundational knowledge in the field. Investments are made in critical areas that are essential, broad and enduring: STEM learning and STEM learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development. The program supports the accumulation of robust evidence to inform efforts to understand, build theory to explain, and suggest intervention and innovations to address persistent challenges in education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

作为一个为期5年的资源中心，EHR核心研究 - 资源协调中心（ECR HUB）旨在推动NSF的ECR Core（ECR）（ECR）和STEM教育研究（ECR：BCSER）计划中NSF的ECR核心（ECR）和ECR建筑能力的方式，可以更好地利用和支持STEM学习环境，扩大STEM和STEM STEM劳动力发展的基础研究，并支持基础研究。 ECR资助的研究有可能通过发展基本知识来指导并为更广泛的联邦STEM教育投资提供信息，从而解决新的国家问题。为了帮助意识到长期潜力，ECR枢纽具有两个核心目标：（a）扩展现有ECR投资的影响和覆盖范围（例如，现有的研究结果，现有的ECR方法培训机构）和（b）为当前和潜在的宏伟提供ECR职业发展机会。 ECR枢纽将向目前在ECR投资组合中人数不足的研究人员社区和机构进行宣传。CECRHUB将针对三个核心，直接的受众：当前的ECR Grandes，潜在的ECR Grandes以及其他NSF教育和人力资源（EHR）计划（EHR）计划（EHR）计划（通过与其他EHR资源的协调）。 ECR中心将通过协调的六个关键项目活动集合，支持和建立在这些受众之间和整个受众之间的联系：（1）确定ECR授予者社区不同的需求，（2）对过去和当前的ECR研究的分类和综合，（3）当前大群落和广泛的参与，（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4）（4） ECR方法培训机构的资源，以及（6）建立跨思考协作以促进长期ECR计划目标。美国研究机构是ECR枢纽的主要机构，与摩根州立大学，西北大学和佐治亚州立大学的学者密切合作。改善合作伙伴将作为外部评估，机构潜水员和多学科顾问委员会将有助于指导ECR集线器目标和活动。该项目得到NSF的EHR核心研究（ECR）计划的支持。 ECR计划强调了基本的STEM教育研究，该研究在该领域产生了基础知识。投资是在重要，广泛和结束的关键领域进行的：STEM学习和STEM学习环境，扩大参与STEM以及STEM劳动力的发展。该计划支持积累强大的证据，以告知努力，以理解，建立理论来解释理论，并提出干预和创新，以应对教育中的持续挑战。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子的智力优点和更广泛的影响来评估来支持支持的。
