Project Grant 2530300
- The National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded a $307,850 Project Grant to Princeton University on September 1, 2025 to examine how educators and decision-makers reason about complex causal models and the adoption of evidence-based practices in education. Using a combination of qualitative interviews and experimental studies, the project will investigate why individuals sometimes resist adopting research-based practices with varying effectiveness across...
- This $247,817 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to examine how K-12 teachers engage with and apply professional learning content in their classroom practice. The study employs a narrative inquiry approach to explore teachers' understanding, decision-making, and contextual factors that shape their implementation of research-based instructional...
- This $634,504 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a four-year initiative focused on developing middle and high school science teachers' ability to integrate critical systems thinking into their curriculum and teaching practices regarding socio-environmental issues. The key products and services of this multi-site professional development program are to: 1) Examine how three cohorts of science teachers across the San...
- This $515,428 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports the development of new statistical methods and research tools for conducting small-sample studies of teaching and learning in STEM fields. The research project, led by the University of Cincinnati, aims to derive new estimation procedures for cross-classified structural equation models that can generate robust findings from studies with smaller sample sizes, which is a...
- This $347,370 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of active assessment strategies aligned with active learning methods in collegiate mathematics. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the grant aims to build capacity for high-quality STEM education research and practice. Specifically, the awardee, California State University, East Bay Foundation, will integrate student and instructor perspectives on active assessment through communities of...
- This $640,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a 9-month training institute to improve the methodological skills of STEM education researchers for conducting modern meta-analyses. The institute will provide online pre-workshop activities, a 5-day in-person intensive workshop, and post-workshop support to enable participants to develop meta-analysis research projects that explore the effectiveness of STEM education...
- This $251,349 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research project to examine the strengths and limitations of a widely used framework for translating education research into effective classroom practices. The University of Denver, the awardee, will conduct a systematic review of this framework, gathering insights through literature synthesis, interviews, and stakeholder engagement. The goal is to identify...
- This $349,980 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support an individual investigator at the University of Georgia Research Foundation to develop new expertise in qualitative research methods for STEM education research. The project aims to contribute to a discipline-based theory of graduate school application using a student-centered approach, with a focus on physics and astronomy. The award will enable the principal investigator...
- This $326,026 CAREER grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (CFDA 47.076 STEM Education) supports the development of methods and tools to enable researchers to unpack complex mediation mechanisms in multisite randomized trials of educational interventions. The project aims to (1) determine how the total impact of an intervention is mediated by one or multiple concurrent/sequential mediators, and (2) assess how the...
- This $379,990 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to implement and study evidence-based teaching practices that promote equitable collaboration in undergraduate data science courses at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo and California State University, Monterey Bay. The overarching goal is to understand how small group experiences, specifically pair programming, can be designed to create...
This $418,466 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will enable researchers at the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. to examine how educators and decision-makers reason about complex causal models and the adoption of evidence-based practices in education. The 3-year project will use qualitative interviews and experimental studies to investigate why individuals sometimes resist adopting research-based practices that include variation in effectiveness across contexts, and how this resistance may limit the use of effective, evidence-based strategies in schools. The findings are intended to support efforts to improve how educational innovations are communicated, evaluated, and implemented, ensuring that all students benefit from approaches tailored to a wide range of learning needs and contexts.
