- This $426,178 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development, assessment, and refinement of "Key Abstracts" - concise, infographic-type resources for communicating mathematics-focused practitioner articles to a teacher audience. The project aims to address the persistent challenge of the gap between research and classroom practice in mathematics education. By embedding teacher perspectives throughout the...
- This Project Grant award of $365,000 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a collaborative research project at Michigan State University to study how children develop spatial thinking skills during play and how parent-child conversations influence that development. The project uses sensor-enabled smart building blocks and advanced artificial intelligence tools to analyze the physical block-building sequences and speech...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill) was awarded a $549,700 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The five-year grant will support research harnessing interpersonal common sense for social grounding in natural language processing. As described in the NSF program, the goal is to advance the development and use of research cyberinfrastructure to enable and accelerate...
- This $349,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate how to design and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to support equitable K-12 science education. The project plans to explore the use of multimodal AI to provide automated feedback for formative science assessments, with the goal of generating design principles to develop...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will receive $149,934 under a two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund a collaborative research effort titled "School Family Nexus and Educational Differences during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond." The research aims to contribute insights on the impact of the pandemic on educational disparities by examining the relationship between...
- This $141,540 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program supports research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to develop analytical and computational tools for data-driven applications. The project will focus on signal/image recovery from limited data, exploring how to build effective mathematical models and design efficient algorithms to extract insights. Additionally, the project will integrate...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $370,236 to the University of South Florida to use sensing technology and automated speech recognition to capture teacher-child language interactions in diverse pre-K classrooms. The project aims to examine how often preschool teachers engage in language interactions with students, whether certain children receive fewer or briefer interactions,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program) provides $335,000.00 to Northwestern University to conduct collaborative research on leveraging smart objects and AI for understanding the role of language in spatial thinking and learning. The 3-year project, starting on Oct 1, 2025, explores how young children build spatial thinking skills during play and how conversations with parents can influence that...
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) received a $353,489 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (ECR) program, effective February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2029. The award will fund research to promote 4- to 6-year-old children's scientific learning through parent-child conversations during book reading interactions. Key objectives include: Expected outcomes include a multi-level theory of factors influencing early science engagement, which will inform future interventions to foster children's scientific learning and participation. Findings will be disseminated to researchers across disciplines focused on family processes, early childhood, and science education.
