The ATS Hub is an IES-funded project that supports the Accelerate, Transform, Scale (ATS) Initiative by building a strong field of education innovators developing breakthrough solutions, particularly with emerging technologies, to address urgent educational challenges. This Hub fosters a community of ATS Initiative applicants and awardees through resources, tools, and professional development opportunities and is steered by an interdisciplinary Technical Working Group of experts across market innovation, research, and practice.

Digital Promise and SRI International are collaborating to accelerate progress by building on and sustaining ATS initiatives they currently lead, including SEERnet and LEARN Network.
