Purpose

This training program prepared fellows to conduct research relevant to the socioeconomic status (SES)-related gap in mathematical knowledge that appears early and widens during early childhood.

Project Activities

The program drew fellows from child-focused graduate programs and provided crucial content knowledge in mathematical cognition, early childhood education, and intervention research methods.

Key outcomes

As of 2020, Dr. Iyer was the senior director for research and evaluation at Arizona Early Childhood and Heard Board, a state agency in Arizona, and Dr. Li was the program manager and educational specialist of Graduate Medical Education at Stanford Health Care.
