Qualifying Research Types

This opportunity is open to all types of research questions and methods, including exploratory projects, correlational research, measurement, and evaluation studies. Each platform will provide guidance on high-interest research themes and the nature of the available data.

We anticipate that many proposals will explore how this data could power a longer-term research concept. By gaining hands-on experience with the data and building relationships with the platform provider, the successful applicant could be better prepared for subsequent proposals and continued efforts on a research theme that is important to mathematics education.
