Data Research and Development Center

根据这项合作协议，国家意见研究中心（NORC）将建立一个技术中心，在个别项目层面和围绕扩大有效教育干预的理论构建的元层面上加强IERI计划。该中心将围绕三个职能进行组织：(1)为IERI受助人提供技术援助、培训和持续需求分析；(2)社区建设；(3)与IERI核心优先事项相关的研究和理论建设。中心的所有活动都将有助于实现与IERI的使命相一致的更大目标：将明显有效的干预措施扩大规模，以提高学生的学习，并更充分地了解扩大规模过程的本质。技术中心的活动将与国家科学基金会项目官员和更大的IERI工作组进行密切和持续的磋商。该中心的所有战略决策将由技术中心、NSF和IERI更大的项目领导共同决定。

In the terms of this cooperative agreement, the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) will establish a Technical Center that will enhance the IERI program at the level of individual projects and at the meta level of theory building around the scaling up of effective educational interventions. The Center will be organized around three functions: (1) technical assistance, training, and ongoing needs analysis in service of IERI grantees, (2) community building, and (3) research and theory building related to core IERI priorities. All Center activities will contribute to a larger purpose that is consistent with the mission of IERI: To bring demonstrably effective interventions to scale in order to enhance student learning, and to more fully understand the nature of the scaling-up process. The activities of the Technical Center will be carried out in close and ongoing consultation with the cognizant NSF program officer and with the larger IERI Working Group. All strategic decisions of the Center will be joint decisions between the Technical Center, NSF, and the larger program leadership of IERI.
