Integrate readiness assessment, research foundations, methods, and a substantive capstone into a school pathway.
This curriculum model connects research readiness with foundational learning, disciplinary or technical preparation, and a capstone. Schools may select a research pathway or an innovation-and-impact pathway. A separate, optional advanced research experience extends exposure; it is not a substitute for the capstone.
