Project Grant 2500659
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $100,055 to Trustees of Indiana University (doing business as Indiana University) to investigate the impact of parent-child interactions on spatial skills and STEM motivation among 1st and 2nd grade students. The research aims to 1) identify specific aspects of parent-child interactions that predict children's spatial skills and STEM learning/motivation, 2) establish causal relationships...
- This $338,645 federal Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Northwestern University. The grant aims to improve regulation skills in college students by developing "Situated Practice Systems", an intelligent coaching tool that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide tailored feedback and practice opportunities to students and their coaches. The tool will (1) computationally encode...
- Northwestern University will receive $380,913 from the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education federal grant program (CFDA 47.076) to support the collaborative research project "Creating a Mechanism for Youth to Document Out-of-School-Time STEM Learning as a Means for Expanding Educational Pathways." The project aims to develop methods for students to document STEM learning experiences outside the classroom in order to broaden educational opportunities. The funding will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $310,985 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Minnesota. The grant aims to identify classroom practices that enable a greater number of students to thrive in introductory STEM courses, with a focus on narrowing performance gaps. The project has three key objectives: 1) Develop an explanatory model of achievement gaps by measuring critical elements for closing...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $172,947 will fund the development of open response assessments to evaluate undergraduate student engagement in mathematical sensemaking across biology, chemistry, and physics disciplines. Awarded under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the funding will support two aims over a four year period from March 2023 through February 2027. The first aim is to apply an evidence-centered design process to develop open-ended assessment items...
- This five-year $815,789 CAREER grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will investigate the design of an after-school mathematics program to expand conceptions of mathematics for both elementary students and their teachers. The project, conducted by Northwestern University, seeks to create a community of practice that encourages students to view mathematics as creative and engaging, while also helping teachers develop their capacity to recognize...
- This Project Grant award of $147,656 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project investigating factors that impact the variability in STEM workforce development programs across the nation. The key products or services to be delivered include: The project will measure institutional factors that contribute to developing career-ready STEM curricula and identify strategies to leverage best...
- 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 (NSF) awarded a $861,945 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2025 with a completion date of August 31, 2028, will be used to map the job ladders and occupational mobility pathways in the STEM Skilled Technical Workforce (STW) - workers with technical skills but less than a bachelor's degree. The project will identify the key...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,245,773.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Northwestern University will fund a 4-year research project to address key limitations in the assessment of spatial skills and their impact on STEM education. The project aims to: This work is expected to enhance understanding of spatial abilities and inform more precisely targeted interventions to facilitate STEM learning and success.
