- This $1,799,500 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to study the community-level impacts of out-of-school time (OST) STEM programs that engage youth in leadership and community improvement efforts. The primary activities include: (1) documenting the broader systemic impacts of youth involvement in these programs, (2) designing a framework for programs to capture these broader community-level impacts, and (3) identifying the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $4,304,961 to conduct the 2027 National Survey of Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering Education (NSSME+). The study, led by Horizon Research, Inc. with assistance from Westat, will monitor the status of STEM education in the U.S., examine policies and practices related to STEM instruction, and assess factors contributing to underrepresentation in STEM...
- This $222,051 project grant from the National Science Foundation will support the Authentic Research Experiences for Teachers at Long-Term Ecological Research Sites project. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), pairs of high school teachers from schools with large populations of underrepresented students in STEM fields will conduct authentic research at three Long Term Ecological Research sites spanning Arctic, temperate forest, and coastal marine ecosystems. Over an 18-month...
- This $557,548 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds the Smithsonian Institution to deliver their Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center from February 2022 through January 2025. The RET program will provide hands-on research training to middle school teachers from Maryland and Washington, D.C. school districts on topics related to global change ecology. Teachers will study...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a $499,977 literature review and synthesis project to assess and bolster the theoretical foundations for understanding adult learning in the participatory sciences. The award will be performed by North Carolina State University, a prominent research university, from August 2025 through July 2028. The project aims to advance research and practice around adult engagement in...
This $497,829 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will fund a research synthesis study led by BSCS Science Learning and its partners NatureBridge and the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE). The study will examine the impacts of outdoor and nature-based environmental education programs on educators and youth participants over a 30-year period, with a focus on the role of climate-related emotions. The research aims to provide new evidence and insights on the relationships between program design, pedagogical practices, and climate-related outcomes. The findings will be broadly disseminated to reach key stakeholders in the environmental education field, including educators, researchers, and policymakers. This project will contribute to advancing theories, identifying research gaps, and informing improvements in informal STEM and outdoor environmental education programs.
