Research study groups are formed to enable scholars to establish a coordinated program of research among the study group members. The Institute does not provide direct funding of study group activities, but will assist group members with administrative support, mentoring, and assistance in obtaining funding for activities such as specialized conferences or training that can increase the likelihood of securing external funding. The following groups have taken advantage of the Institute’s support and services:
- Assessing Learning in Complex Domains
- Autism Spectrum Disorders Research and Training Consortium Study Group
- Content-Area Studies with English Language Learners Research Group
- Creativity Research Group
- Diversity Center Initiative Study Group
- Equity & Diversity
- Data for Improved Learning Instruction Study Group

- Urban Education Study Group
- STEM and Virtual Worlds (Hannafin, Gregg, Robert Todd (Georgia Tech). We are building from our NSF Breakthru funding to extend possibilities to include video cases, assessment of mentor-student participation in our Second Life Island.
- NSTA Teacher Learning Journeys Collaboration (NSTA, Hannafin, and 7 other university partners). This group is working to secure both funding and partners sites (colleges, school districts) interested in integrating NASA/NSTA digital assets into K12 classrooms.
