The Robert B. Davis Institute for Learning Collection of 300+ videos consists of observational videos of students learning mathematical concepts. The videos were captured through a series of research projects studying the same student sample, from first grade through high school, 1992 to the present. The collection consists of video clips edited to highlight evidence of student reasoning and effective teaching practices as well as raw footage suitable for education and child development research. The video mosaic collaborative is an interactive collaboration portal designed to enable researchers, teacher educators, and teachers to analyze and utilize real classroom videos shot over a span of 20+ years to make new discoveries in math education and transform mathematics research, teaching, and learning.

Established in 1999, the Center for Emerging Pathogens within New Jersey Medical School supports and fosters collaborative and translational research in infectious diseases that are increasing in frequency and/or becoming resistant to current therapies.
