This research study examines the extent and ways in which the first three Cohorts of MSP Partnership projects have sustained the accomplishments made during their respective grant periods. The study addresses two interrelated research questions: 1) What strategies did the initial cohorts of MSPs use to sustain and nurture their outcomes beyond their NSF award? and 2) What were the mediators that either facilitated or hindered projects' efforts to sustain these outcomes? Guided by a logic model that lays out a proposed theory of sustainability, the study uses a mixed method approach to investigate factors influencing those changes at both school district and Institution of Higher Education (IHE) levels. The study is conducted in two phases: Phase 1 involves document review, discussions with current and former NSF project officers, and interviews with PIs and Co-PIs to provide a broad brush examination of project sustainability. Phase 2 includes case studies in a sample of projects to provide a fuller assessment of facilitators and hindrances. The specific approach for each case study will depend on the type of practice being sustained and the partners and participants involved in the practice.

本研究考察了前三批MSP伙伴项目在各自的资助期内保持成就的程度和方式。该研究解决了两个相互关联的研究问题：1)最初的msp群体使用什么策略来维持和培养他们在获得NSF奖励之后的成果？2)促进或阻碍项目努力维持这些成果的中介是什么？在提出可持续发展理论的逻辑模型的指导下，该研究使用混合方法来调查影响学区和高等教育机构（IHE）水平这些变化的因素。该研究分两个阶段进行：第一阶段包括文件审查，与现任和前任国家科学基金会项目官员进行讨论，与项目负责人和合作项目负责人进行面谈，以对项目可持续性进行广泛的检查。第二阶段包括项目样本中的案例研究，以便对促进因素和阻碍因素进行更全面的评估。每个案例研究的具体方法将取决于持续的实践类型以及参与实践的合作伙伴和参与者。
