The (TPR)2 project has 14 collaborating partners across the United States. The team of partners represent institutional, geographic, and student diversity including large and small and research and practice-focused institutions, minority serving and primarily White institutions. Theses partners are located in the south, southwest, mid-west, and northeast of the U.S. This diversity provides the opportunity to compare programmatic features across a variety of contexts and draw conclusions about the features that most impact rural STEM educator intention, persistence, and retention.
Mississippi State University serves as the lead institution for this project. MSU researchers on the project are Devon Brenner (PI) & Dana Franz (Co-PI) lead the project and are part of the core research team.
Stephen F. Austin University researchers Keith Hubbard (PI) and Chrissy Cross (Co-PI) are part of the Core Research Team.
Texas A&M University researchers Jennifer Whitfield (PI) and Laura Wilding (Senior Personnel) are part of the Core Research Team.
