STEM learning is more successful when schools and organizations invest in research-to-practice projects that incorporate strong research methods with great teaching and learning. Organizations and institutions struggle to keep up with understanding the outcomes of their work and often do not have the specialized knowledge or staff to commit to full-scale research or assessment plans. MMSA offers support to organizations for outside evaluation, research planning and management, and general support throughout the research design and implementation process.
