Miami University - Ohio/Project Dragonfly is developing "Wild Research," a multi-faceted collaborative project with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and with a consortium of ten zoos and aquariums around the country, the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, the Society for Conservation Biology, and Conservation International. Project deliverables include a centrally-located 4,500 square-foot Wild Research Discovery Forest exhibit and six Wild Research Stations around the Cincinnati Zoo, a Wild Research Consortium and Wild Research Leadership Workshops for zoo professionals, conservation scientists and educators, a Wild Research Web site with visitor password access to exhibit data they collected, and 90-second radio pieces for the 90-Second Naturalist program. Institute for Learning Innovation is conducting the formative and summative evaluations. The Ohio Assessment and Evaluation Center is conducting a separate evaluation focused on this extensive institutional collaboration process. The primary public impact is to explore new ways zoos and aquariums can incorporate inquiry-based activities on site and to help visitors understand the work of conservation scientists. The project also aims to improve the practice of zoo and aquarium professionals nationwide in inquiry-based experiences and communicating about conservation science.

迈阿密大学-俄亥俄州/蜻蜓项目正在开发“野生研究”，这是一个多方面的合作项目，与辛辛那提动物园植物园和全国10个动物园和水族馆，美国动物园和水族馆协会，保护生物学协会和保护国际协会的联盟合作。项目交付成果包括一个位于中心的4,500平方英尺的野生研究发现森林展览和六个野生研究站周围的辛辛那提动物园，野生研究联盟和野生研究领导讲习班的动物园专业人士，保护科学家和教育工作者，野生研究网站与游客密码访问展览数据，他们收集，和90秒的广播节目90秒的自然主义者。学习创新研究所正在进行形成性和总结性评价。俄亥俄州评估和评价中心正在进行一项单独的评价，重点是这一广泛的机构合作过程。主要的公众影响是探索动物园和水族馆可以在现场纳入基于调查的活动的新方法，并帮助游客了解保护科学家的工作。该项目还旨在改善全国动物园和水族馆专业人员在基于调查的经验和交流保护科学方面的做法。
