Education specialists from the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science's Marine Advisory Services are collaborating to create the Virginia Scientists and Educators Alliance. Modeled after a similar network formed in North Carolina, the alliance will connect educators and researchers through a variety of networking opportunities. This includes graduate student training in lesson plan development, the development and piloting of those lesson plans, and sharing of all lesson plans developed via a lesson plan expo in the spring of 2017. This science transfer project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to promote the use of science. It did not produce any new data.
