- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $915,455 Project Grant under the STEM Education federal grant program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Michigan on September 15, 2021 for work completing August 31, 2023. The grant funds a collaborative research effort between the University of Michigan and its partners to create a mechanism for youth to document out-of-school-time STEM learning. This will provide a means to expand educational pathways by recognizing skills gained through informal STEM...
- 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 $631,404 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) in developing resources to help informal STEM educators conduct more effective and culturally responsive program evaluations. Over the 2-year project period from September 2024 to August 2026, NYSCI will collaborate with caregivers to identify meaningful evaluation metrics and develop a toolkit to empower educators to gather and apply...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,971,515.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will fund the development and research of making activities for youth (ages 12-18) in care facilities. The project aims to explore how out-of-school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning settings, such as hospitals, can foster a prepared future workforce by offering real-world applications of STEM concepts and skills. The grantee,...
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 common supports needed for programs to achieve these impacts. The project will be conducted by the Afterschool Alliance and is scheduled to be completed by February 2028. The goal is to gain a better understanding of how OST STEM programs that empower youth can yield measurable improvements at the community level, beyond just individual-level outcomes.
