The NSDL Center for Sustaining Broader Impacts combines intra-community support structures for NSDL grantees with well-defined mechanisms for effective outreach and dissemination in a Web 2.0 world to organizations and coalitions that provide K-12 teachers and/or higher education faculty with educational materials or professional development. Four primary goals guide the work of the center:1) Mobilization: to facilitate the flow of information and communications across NSDL projects to build community capacity, set priorities, and identify emerging issues so that the community can exploit its opportunities and address its challenges collectively.2) Synthesis: to mine the collective knowledge and experience of the community and synthesize the work of NSDL projects to inform community best practices.3) Dissemination: to place resources and research into the hands of educators through targeted outreach activities, by bundling specific products and services to meet users' needs, and by distributing NSDL products and services through trusted dissemination channels.4) Analysis and Evaluation: to create and foster a culture of data gathering and interpretation to support the analysis of needs and trends so that NSDL can create more effective products and services that meet the demands of STEM learners. The intellectual merit of this project lies in its core strategies of: i) brokering partnerships and opportunities on behalf of the community; ii) monitoring trends and practices; iii) promoting and advocating for NSDL; iv) customizing and contextualizing NSDL resources; v) putting NSDL in the path of users; and vi) systematic data gathering to inform short-term decision-making and long-term sustainability planning. Taken together these can serve as a model for Web 2.0 educational organizations. The project is exerting broader impacts through its dedication to the integration of research with education, the provision of services and support for teacher training, professional development, and STEM workforce growth. By advocating for STEM education through partnership and capacity-building activities, across multiple disciplines and audiences, the center is extending NSDL's reach and effectiveness and creating new channels for reaching audiences and for understanding impact. This effort is essential to the realization of the NSDL community vision of transforming many distinct and important initiatives into an increasingly coherent whole, all in the service of STEM education.

NSDL中心为维持更广泛的影响结合了社区内的支持结构NSDL受助人与明确的机制，有效的推广和传播在Web 2.0世界的组织和联盟，提供K-12教师和/或高等教育教师与教育材料或专业发展。该中心的工作有四个主要目标：1）动员：促进信息和通信在NSDL项目中的流动，以建立社区能力，确定优先事项，并确定新出现的问题，以便社区能够共同利用其机会并应对其挑战。挖掘社区的集体知识和经验，并综合NSDL项目的工作，以告知社区最佳实践。3）传播：通过有针对性的外展活动，通过捆绑满足用户需求的特定产品和服务，以及通过可信的传播渠道分发NSDL产品和服务，将资源和研究成果交到教育工作者手中。创建和培养数据收集和解释的文化，以支持需求和趋势分析，使NSDL能够创建更有效的产品，满足STEM学习者需求的服务。该项目的智力价值在于其核心战略：i）代表社区促成伙伴关系和机会; ii）监测趋势和做法; iii）促进和倡导NSDL; iv）定制NSDL资源并将其置于环境中; v）将NSDL置于用户的路径中;以及vi）系统收集数据，为短期决策和长期可持续性规划提供信息。综合起来，这些可以作为Web 2.0教育组织的模型。该项目通过致力于研究与教育的整合，为教师培训，专业发展和STEM劳动力增长提供服务和支持，正在发挥更广泛的影响。 通过在多个学科和受众中开展合作伙伴关系和能力建设活动，倡导STEM教育，该中心正在扩大NSDL的覆盖面和有效性，并为接触受众和了解影响创造新的渠道。这一努力对于实现NSDL社区愿景至关重要，即将许多独特而重要的举措转变为一个日益一致的整体，所有这些都是为了STEM教育服务。
