Research and Development


The Nellie Mae Education Foundation’s Research and Development Initiative reflects our commitment to building and deepening knowledge regarding the work of transforming education. To forward this effort, we support projects that:
  • Gather and synthesize existing knowledge regarding student-centered approaches to learning from a variety of fields;

  • Develop new knowledge in emerging areas of practice, system change, policy, and community engagement through research and evaluation; and

  • Identify needed tools for student-centered teaching, learning, and assessment, and support development of new tools as needed.

We work with partners in the field, including other private and public funders, to build a network of researchers as well as share the results of this knowledge development work with a wide variety of stakeholders.
