A key focus of I-DREEME is to recruit and support students from underrepresented backgrounds, which will enhance both the training of PreK-12 educators and the scope of research conducted in this field. The funding for the University at Buffalo was included in the Fiscal Year 2024 budget: Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN); Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and was made possible by the United States Department of Education. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
