Since the creation of the Research Design Studio, graduate students and their faculty mentors have worked with individual researchers, foundations, federal agencies, and private corporations to design and implement high-quality research studies.
Below you will find a list of ongoing research studies that are seeking to learn more about the thoughts and opinions of educators, students, and members of the general public.
Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI)
One of our projects at the Research Design Studio is supporting the National Museum of the American Indian’s National Education Initiative called Native Knowledge 360º. NMAI is creating new materials for teachers and students to use in classrooms to ensure students have access to culturally accurate and appropriate information examining the history and culture of Native Americans in the U.S.
To ensure these educational materials best support the needs of students and educations, the National Museum of the American Indian is currently seeking educators and students who would be willing to share their opinions on the current state of educational materials related to the teaching of the Native American history and cultures. For a limited time, we can offer educators and members of the general public an $5 electronic gift card to share their thoughts and opinions. This offer is limited to the 200 respondents to complete the educator and community surveys. Directions regarding how to receive your incentive will be provided at the end of the survey.
