RR2P (Relating Research to Practice) is a collaborative brand developed by the Exploratorium, the University of Washington, King’s College London, and the Afterschool Alliance. This brand serves as a valuable resource for STEM educators in both formal and informal settings. With hundreds of Research Briefs available on their website, RR2P summarizes individual research studies conducted in classroom, informal, and everyday settings.

Rather than providing instrumental uses of research findings, RR2P focuses on supporting conceptual use, aiming to inform thinking, raise questions, and spark professional conversations. They emphasize that no single study is ever definitive, and research-based knowledge is developed across multiple studies and over time. To provide further access to the original articles, each brief contains links to the sources, some of which are open source.

RR2P aims to be thought-provoking and useful by providing STEM educators with access to a developing body of knowledge
