The National Science Foundation awarded Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) a $147,945 Project Grant under the STEM Education (47.076) federal grant program. The grant will fund EDC to develop curricular resources and tools with middle school teachers to support critical data literacy skills among students. Specifically, EDC will work with 10 cross-domain teachers in 4 schools over three years to co-design curricula and remixing technology that leverages students' media practices....

This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $333,285 to the University of Pittsburgh to create an innovative "Peer-Reviewed Presentation Exchange (PEREPEX)" model that integrates primary biology research literature into large undergraduate courses. The project aims to make research engagement opportunities traditionally available only in advanced courses accessible to a broader range of students, with a focus on inclusivity and...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $499,918 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to broaden the use of learning analytics in STEM education research. The project will develop a modular, adaptable curriculum composed of 25-30 instructional modules on cutting-edge data science and artificial intelligence techniques. Over 3 years, the project will train two cohorts of 50 STEM education researchers to use...

This $515,428 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports the development of new statistical methods and research tools for conducting small-sample studies of teaching and learning in STEM fields. The research project, led by the University of Cincinnati, aims to derive new estimation procedures for cross-classified structural equation models that can generate robust findings from studies with smaller sample sizes, which is a...

This two-year, $299,722 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund the New York Hall of Science to deliver exploratory research and co-design efforts with caregivers in Corona, Queens. Working with the New York City Department of Education, the awardee will conduct interviews and intersectional research to understand caregiver engagement in STEM learning from multiple cultural perspectives. They will then engage in collaborative...

This $266,986 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will support the development of educational modules and a content hub for hands-on, exploration-based learning in data systems. The University of Chicago will create a collection of "courselets" - scaffolded educational modules executable on open cloud testbeds - covering topics such as data acquisition, networking, storage, machine learning, analytics, and...
