The goal is to identify...
- This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) is supporting a partnership between the West Aurora School District in Illinois and Northern Illinois University. The primary goals are to: (1) co-construct a research and development plan to enhance support and effectiveness in teaching scientific argumentation through technology, and (2) develop a model for building a design research partnership between a school district and a mid-size...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,389,237 to The Regents of the University of Colorado to investigate how informal STEM educators in settings like museums, libraries, and community organizations negotiate, redesign, and repair organizational and community infrastructures to support innovations in learning with computing. The research focuses on understanding the supports that informal STEM and computing...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to develop and document more effective ways to disseminate research-informed STEM education programs and practices at the University of Colorado-Denver. The $500,000 award will fund two key initiatives over a 3-year period from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028: Expansion of the Learning Assistants (LA) program to additional STEM courses with high DFW (D, F, or Withdrawal) rates,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development of comprehensive district-level infrastructures that leverage students' diverse communicative practices to enhance elementary science learning. The $1,581,066 grant, awarded to the Trustees of Boston University, will partner the university with school districts to co-design, implement, and refine materials that foster the use of research-based practices...
- This $375,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research project between the University of Colorado Boulder and Washington State University. The project aims to comparatively assess the effectiveness of web-based interactive digital experiments (WIDEs) versus low-cost desktop learning modules (LCDLMs) for experiential learning in engineering classrooms. Key deliverables include creating 15 WIDEs for...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund collaborative research between the University of Colorado at Boulder, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, and Utah State University. The $506,181 award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2030, will scale and expand the STEM Career Connections model to prepare rural middle and high school students in three school districts for technology and computing careers. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will examine co-design as a mechanism for transforming foundational research into usable K-12 STEM education interventions, and scaling and sustaining those interventions within diverse school systems. The $444,671 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will study a sample of 100 NSF-funded projects that engaged in co-design to develop STEM innovations. The project aims to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research-practice partnership between the University of Colorado Boulder and the Weld RE-4 School District in Colorado. The $934,240 grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, aims to develop and investigate a novel methodological approach called "improvement-oriented curriculum adoption" to help school districts select, adopt, and implement high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) in secondary science. The project seeks to generate new understandings that support the translation of research on how curriculum can improve teaching and learning into practice for an entire school district, as well as yield insights into how districts navigate organizational dynamics and competing priorities during curriculum adoption. The effort will result in a practical toolkit to guide other districts through similar efforts to improve the quality and consistency of science instruction and build a robust, future-ready STEM workforce.
