This $697,718 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to increase the efficiency, quality, and transparency of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in STEM education research. The award to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences will fund the development of three new functionalities for the existing MetaReviewer software tool:
(A) A literature search portal to store and analyze research literature search strings and citations
(B) A citation management portal to support citation organization and de-duplication
(C) An abstract screening portal that leverages machine learning algorithms to improve the accuracy and efficiency of abstract screening
These enhancements to MetaReviewer's existing data extraction and effect size calculation capabilities will help researchers more effectively conduct high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses, advancing knowledge across STEM education domains. The project will also provide training and resources to the research community on using the expanded MetaReviewer tool. This award, running from Nov 1, 2024 to Oct 31, 2027, reflects NSF's commitment to supporting fundamental STEM education research that generates foundational knowledge.
