Abstract
Pacific CRYSTAL involved a diverse collection of investigators and projects within the first-ever Centres for Research into Youth, Science Teaching and Learning (CRYSTAL) funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Being a new endeavour for the funding agency and many of the researchers—in terms of the scope and size of the project as well as the breadth of disciplines and cultures involved with the CRYSTAL program—meant that refinements and revisions to the goals, policy interpretations, procedures, organization, and operations were inerrable.
