The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) will host a workshop that brings together NSF-funded teams working on midscale research infrastructure incubator projects for STEM education research with a focus on education equity (see NSF 22-085). ICPSR will share information, resources, and support incubator teams in developing and managing mid-scale infrastructure projects. These incubator projects have identified research infrastructure gaps related to assessments, teacher practices, and digital tools to support student learning and have proposed pilot tools, cyberinfrastructure, large-scale datasets, etc., for filling these gaps. To scale these pilots, the teams will need to successfully develop proposals to create mid-scale research infrastructure (Midscale RI). However, Midscale RI proposals require specialized knowledge that is not common within the STEM education research community and thus may limit the community’s ability to develop competitive Midscale RI proposals.The goal of the workshop is to advance the work of researchers and staff from projects funded under the effort described in the DCL: Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure (Midscale RI) Incubators and Conferences for STEM Education Research with a Focus on Education Equity. ICPSR faculty and staff are deeply involved in supporting the STEM education research community through the PEERS STEM education research hub and are experienced with the NSF Midscale RI program through Research Data Ecosystem, a Midscale RI project building software to support a transparent and reproducible research data lifecycle. The workshop will draw on these experiences to build the capacity of the incubator teams to conceive and implement Midscale RI projects by providing training in project management, the development of and use of project execution plans, work breakdown structures, risk registers, contingency planning, human-centered design, and the implementation and reporting necessary for successful projects. ICPSR will provide a structured forum in which the incubator teams can learn from one another, establish common points of interest, and establish an ongoing community of practice to foster collaborative efforts going forward. As a result of the workshop, incubator teams will be more likely to realize the visions of their incubator projects, leading to promising new advancements in STEM education research that are developed specifically with a focus on education equity.This project is supported by NSF's EDU Core Research (ECR) program and NSF’s Discovery Research preK-12 program (DRK-12). 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 DRK-12 program seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. 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.

大学政治和社会研究联盟（ICPSR）将举办一个研讨会，将NSF资助的团队汇集在中期研究基础设施基础设施孵化器项目中，用于STEM教育研究，重点是教育公平（请参阅NSF 22-085）。 ICPSR将共享信息，资源和支持孵化器团队，以开发和管理中尺度基础架构项目。这些孵化器项目已经确定了与评估，教师实践和数字工具相关的研究基础设施差距，以支持学生学习，并提出了试点工具，网络基础设施，大规模数据集等，以填补这些空白。为了扩展这些移液器，团队将需要成功制定提案，以创建中尺度研究基础设施（MIDSCALE RI）。 However, Midscale RI proposals require specialized knowledge that is not common within the STEM education research community and thus may limit the community’s ability to develop competitive Midscale RI proposals.The goal of the workshop is to advance the work of researchers and staff from projects funded under the effort described in the DCL: Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure (Midscale RI) Incubators and Conferences for STEM Education Research with a Focus on Education Equity. ICPSR教职员工通过同龄人STEM教育研究中心深入支持STEM教育研究社区，并通过研究数据生态系统进行NSF Middle RI计划，这是一种中间RI项目构建软件，以支持透明且可重复的研究数据生命周期生命周期。研讨会将借鉴这些经验，以建立孵化器团队的能力，通过提供项目管理，制定和使用项目执行计划的培训来构想和实施中间的RI项目，ICPSR将提供一个结构化的论坛，培养箱团队可以互相学习，建立兴趣点，并建立一个持续的实践社区来促进协作的实践社区。由于研讨会的结果，孵化器团队将更有可能意识到其孵化器项目的愿景，从而使STEM教育研究的有希望的新进步专门针对教育权益开发。该项目由NSF的EDU核心研究（ECR）计划（ECR）计划和NSF的Discovery Research PERK-12计划（DRK-12）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，广泛和持久的关键领域进行的：STEM学习和STEM学习环境，扩大参与STEM以及STEM劳动力的发展。 DRK-12计划通过研究和开发创新的资源，模型和工具来显着通过PreK-12学生和教师来显着增强科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。 DRK-12计划中的项目基于STEM教育和先前的研究与发展工作的基础研究，为拟议项目提供了理论和经验的理由。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来评估NSF的法定任务。
