Project Grant 2529776
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $340,947 to the University of Nevada, Reno to develop and implement a data-driven, justice-oriented science curriculum on the topic of wildfires. The project will partner with teachers, teacher educators, and subject matter experts to co-design a unit that engages middle school students in data practices to gain insights into the impacts of wildfires on their...
- This $400,000 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will develop an integrated artificial intelligence system to address the full lifecycle of hurricane-fueled wildfires in the Florida Panhandle. The research will create pre-wildfire capabilities to model hurricane-driven fuel dynamics, real-time roadway monitoring for evacuations, and automated infrastructure damage assessment. The open-source system will enhance community resilience...
- This $334,155 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to explore how family involvement in everyday activities like cooking can spark children's interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), with a focus on Latino families. The project will evaluate the effects of culturally affirming, at-home, co-cooking activities on children's STEM identity, career aspirations, and diet quality over a 5-week period....
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $447,000.00 to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028. The project focuses on measuring and characterizing the settling and transport behavior of actively buoyant particles, such as firebrands from wildfires, which can travel unexpectedly long distances due to changes in air density around the hot particles....
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $500,000 will fund the development of a sociotechnical digital twin and serious games to support wildfire risk reduction efforts in Northern California communities through 2025. Under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the University of California, Berkeley will create an innovative digital model integrating physical infrastructure, social networks, and insurance mechanisms across time and space. Serious games will engage stakeholders in...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $757,900.00 to support research on how to apply cognitive principles to the design of animated STEM instructional materials. The goal is to advance the understanding of how students learn STEM concepts that involve temporal processes and transformations, such as photosynthesis and earthquakes. The research team at The Washington University will test a theory-driven intervention...
- 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...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings provides $200,000 to support continued data collection and analysis through the Understanding America Study (UAS). The funding supports targeted administration of survey questions to parents regarding K-12 students' learning experiences and engagement in STEM subjects during the 2022 spring/summer and the 2022-23 school year. Analysis will track impacts along key demographic...
- 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 $698,065 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The award is intended to support behavioral experiments with adults that explore how the heterogeneity, or diversity, of scientific explanations for STEM topics affects understanding, question-asking, and learning. The research aims to provide insights into how having multiple explanations for the same phenomenon can promote...
This $200,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research by Stanford University to understand how families affected by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires are developing environmental literacy and STEM learning practices to navigate evolving health and safety challenges during the recovery process. The research project will leverage ethnographic methods and a multimodal diary study to explore three key questions: (1) what learning opportunities have families encountered as they managed wildfire disruptions, and how are they scaffolding their children's STEM learning? (2) how are families developing new environmental literacy practices to cope with changing risks? and (3) what current, emerging, and ongoing learning opportunities do families face due to the environmental disaster? The findings aim to conceptualize family STEM learning in the context of an ecological disaster. The award has a project period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026.
