The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,697,005 Project Grant to the American Educational Research Association (AERA) through the NSF's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant, which runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will support four primary objectives: Advance knowledge through dissertation grants and small research grants that support fundamental STEM education research based on secondary data analysis of large-scale datasets. Enhance diversity and equity...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program, CFDA 47.076 STEM Education, will establish a "laboratory classroom" to capture real-time data on individual student learning behaviors, cognition, and interactions within classroom settings. The $499,998 award to the University of Virginia will fund the incubation and piloting of this research platform, which aims to produce metrics on student-level factors that influence STEM...
This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to advance the cognitive science of active learning in STEM courses. Over a two-year period, the fellow will conduct three controlled experiments manipulating dosage schedules and order of active learning and lecture components. The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $648,319 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to host a conference series exploring opportunities and barriers to changing institutional policies and practices to support STEM faculty from underrepresented populations. The series will bring together researchers, practitioners, administrators, and faculty to examine different layers of influence within higher education systems,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a Project Grant of $1,249,445 to Middle Tennessee State University to fund the "PREPARATION AND REFINEMENT OF POSTDOCS IN STEM FOR DISCIPLINARY-BASED EDUCATION RESEARCH (PROPS FOR DBER)" project under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources, CFDA 47.076) program. The project aims to prepare STEM doctoral graduates, with a focus on underrepresented groups, to conduct rigorous discipline-based education research (DBER) that can...
This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research at Cal Poly Corporation to characterize undergraduate STEM research experiences and student outcomes. The three-year award aims to develop and validate a multi-dimensional measure of the work design structure of academic-year undergraduate research experiences. Researchers will adapt an established work design survey from organizational psychology for the STEM research...
The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the National Academy of Sciences to support equity in preK-12 STEM education. Under the grant, the National Academy of Sciences will deliver products and services from May 15, 2021 through April 30, 2024 to advance the goals of the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The STEM Education program aims to ensure the vitality of the nation's science, technology,...
This Project Grant award, valued at $1,002,436.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The purpose of the award is to conduct a national consensus study examining workplace barriers, solutions, and policies for STEM and STEM education professionals and postsecondary students with disabilities. The NAS will engage an expert committee to gather data, evidence, and commissioned works, and...
