The DRDC examines the factors that are essential in scaling up promising educational models, programs and strategies. Funded by the Interagency Education Research Initiative (IERI), the Center works with groups across the country to identify -- and develop plans to address challenges that arise when conducting research on scaling.  The Center supports IERI investigators carrying out research across the country and enhances their research capacity by:

• providing tailored technical assistance
• hosting principal investigator meetings
• hosting workshops on substantive topics related to IERI research
• publishing relevant documents
