Family Math Research Consortium
The Family Math Research Consortium (FMRC) is a standing advisory body for the Center for Family Math. The FMRC brings together leading researchers with diverse backgrounds and perspectives to advise on research initiatives and provide the research community’s perspective on Center initiatives.
Next Generation of Family Math Researchers
A primary role in building the Family Math field is ensuring emerging researchers receive support. A signature initiative of the Center’s family math research efforts is The Next Generation of Family Math Researchers Dissertation Fellowship, designed to promote new scholarly work on Family Math while embracing the Center’s research priorities.
