- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $849,986 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System to develop an accessible, inclusive approach to STEM education for transition-aged adults with cognitive conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. The 3-year project, funded under the NSF's STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076), aims to enhance STEM education and workforce development by leveraging advancements in virtual reality, intelligent...
This $1,860,223 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a collaborative effort to examine the implementation of approaches and tools in informal STEM learning environments, including for neurodivergent and intellectually/developmentally disabled individuals. The project, led by Oregon State University, will focus on two key objectives: 1) Assessing the applicability of practices and resources previously developed for zoos and aquariums in other informal STEM learning settings, such as science museums, children's museums, and botanic gardens, to support neurodivergent individuals; and 2) Investigating how those strategies and materials can also benefit intellectually/developmentally disabled individuals in these inclusive informal learning environments. The project will also explore employment opportunities within informal STEM learning organizations that are open to neurodivergent and intellectually/developmentally disabled individuals. This multi-year award runs from September 2025 through August 2029.
