Students need basic mathematics to fully participate in and contribute to society throughout their lives; however, many of them are not developing the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need. The National Science Foundation’s DRK-12 projects are developing, implementing, and/or studying resources, models, and technologies for teacher and student learning that have the potential to expand our understanding and address some of the most compelling issues we face when challenged to improve student achievement in mathematics.

Effective as of January 2018, NSF's Prospective New Awardee Guide includes information on federal requirements, NSF points of contact and frequently asked questions, grantee standards (including financial viability, financial management, accounting system and internal control requirements, documentation of personnel expenses, allowable costs, participant support, subaward and subrecipient monitoring, cost sharing requirements, and audits on federal awards), as well as information on  indirect costs.

In this November 29th webinar, NSF Program Officer David Campbell introduced DR K-12 awardees to the ins and outs of project management, sharing information on evaluation and reporting, advisory boards, Institutional Review Boards (IRB), NSF Highlights, and more. Attendees were able to ask questions at the end.
