Research labs are structured research departments related to a broad/cutting edge topic in the field of education. Through the research labs, we connect people, implement effective process, and generate great products.; 3Ps is our formula for success. The goal of the labs is to support a cluster of related projects to be completed within 12 months from their initiations. All projects are planned to be submitted to peer-reviewed conferences for presentation and journals for publication. A team of 3-4 researchers work on each project. Every team has a team leader and members playing specific roles as methodologist, literature reviewer, or writer.  Materials and step by step guidelines are provided for the teams. Monthly Web-based meetings are held to discuss the projects and support the researchers carrying out the projects.  Each lab may include multiple projects. After completing the current projects, new set of projects related to the lab topic are developed.
