Through research, iteration and collaboration with Research IT, Pixo identified how to make the application more useful for researchers and launched an expanded and improved version in August 2019. The Research IT team is now busy gathering feedback to inform new ideas for enhancing this important tool.
CO+RE, a pilot program supported by the University of Illinois Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation, is intended to foster and extend community-campus partnerships and civic scholarship. CO+RE engages substantive research, creative practice, and community needs and interests, generating responsive and ongoing relationships with our local communities. These research and creative partnerships will demonstrate an abiding interest and involvement in reciprocal community-to-campus and campus-to-community relationships. Projects supported by this program recognize local knowledge producers, the needs and interests of our communities, and materially affect the lives of East Central Illinois residents through sustainable, equitable partnerships.

Technology Innovation in Educational Research and Design (TIER-ED) Fellowships will be awarded each year to graduate students working on a research project in a TIER-ED focused area.
Applications are solicited each Spring for the academic year beginning the following Fall. The proposed research must be interdisciplinary and must have a strong and clearly defined technology focus, with implications for critical issues in education (e.g., learning, equity and access, etc.).
The fellowship comes with expectations that Fellows will regularly utilize the TIER-ED student/faculty workspace at the Children’s Research Center and participate in TIER-ED initiatives during the award year.

Technology Innovation in Educational Research and Design (TIER-ED) is a campus-wide initiative based out of the College of Education that seeks to build a community of interdisciplinary researchers and designers developing applications of new technologies to address critical issues in education and learning.
The TIER-ED Pilot Projects Program is designed to foster inter- or trans-disciplinary intellectual engagement through funding pilot or proof-of-concept projects to better position faculty teams for competitive external funding and have more collaborative research opportunities for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in TIER-ED focused areas.
