The CADRE Fellowship, now in its second year, is a capacity building experience for early career researchers and developers to gain exposure to STEM education research and researchers working beyond the Fellow’s particular project and institution, network with colleagues from across the country, and gain insights into NSF and what it takes to be successful and effective in this work. This year’s Fellows include 10 early career professionals representing 10 different DR K-12 projects and with diverse interests and experiences within STEM education research and development. Throughout the year, they will attend the 2010 DR K-12 PI Meeting held December 1-3 in Washington, D.C., participate in a series of calls on topics related to career development, and continue to engage in the DR K-12 community in a variety of ways, including special interest groups.
