As we begin 2021, we at the nonpartisan and objective research organization NORC at the University of Chicago are excited to share with you the product of our National Science Foundation-funded research entitled Graduate Schools Respond to COVID-19: Promising Pathways to Innovation and Sustainability in STEM Education.

The white paper, videos from our national conference, a recent blog post, and other related materials are all available now. These documents tell the story of COVID-19’s impact on graduate education and its implications for the future. All materials can be accessed directly from the project web page. We encourage you to share the white paper and other materials with your colleagues and network through social media.

The NORC research team would like to hear from you with updates about your efforts. Please send communications to the project email address. And please reach out to the project director, Erin Knepler, or me (Debra Stewart) if you have any questions.
