Brokering Broadening Participation Investments in K-16 STEM Education Research and Program Evaluation: The Role of Federally-Funded Technical Assistance and Resource Centers

Session Abstract: In response to concerns about the unmet and growing demand for STEM professionals in the United States, Federal funding to sustain the K-16 STEM education research plant signals a commitment to increase the engagement, attainment and success of underrepresented groups (e.g., students with disabilities) and underserved communities (e.g., rural communities, juvenile corrections) in the STEM pipeline. This session explores the role of Federally-funded technical assistance (TA) and resource centers as knowledge brokers responsible for supporting Federal grantee program implementation, evaluation and dissemination efforts to bring K-16 STEM education innovations and reforms to scale to address disproportionately poor STEM education and career outcomes.
