- The National Science Foundation awarded a $743,728 Project Grant under its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Purdue University to develop and evaluate the "Scalable Inquiry-Based STEM Instruction: A Blended Virtual-Physical Lab Concept for Large Lab Courses" framework. This project aims to address challenges in scaling inquiry-based learning in large STEM laboratory courses by integrating virtual and physical lab experiences. The research will explore methods for providing...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $350,000 to investigate how members of STEM teams build relationships through knowledge transfer from professional development activities. The project will allow the Principal Investigator (PI) to develop skills in qualitative research methods, including interviewing, and gain practical experience in STEM education research. The findings will be shared through professional development...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $499,999 to the University of Delaware to conduct a systematic review of research on teacher professional learning in mathematics and science. The goal is to develop a new, next-generation framework (theory of change) that will inform efforts to improve the quality of STEM teacher professional development programs nationwide. The 3-year synthesis project involves a...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $142,000.00 and awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will fund the development of a simulated classroom environment that allows elementary school teachers to practice facilitation skills using AI-driven student avatars. The goal is to create an automated professional development system that provides teachers with low-cost, low-stakes opportunities to improve their ability to facilitate classroom...
- This National Science Foundation STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $453,140 to the University of Arizona aims to conduct a longitudinal study on the effectiveness and retention of K-12 mathematics teachers in high-need school districts. The research project will collect audio and video data to understand the experiences and instructional practices of mathematics teachers during their first five years of teaching. The study seeks to identify factors that support teacher...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,748,645.00 to Purdue University over six years, from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2030. The project aims to serve the national need of preparing highly qualified K-12 STEM teacher leaders to address emerging workforce demands in the growing microelectronics industry. The project will recruit and prepare two cohorts of 12 practicing K-12 teachers (24 total) to become...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative initiative to enhance the preparation and ongoing development of STEM teachers. The $4,108,032 project, awarded on October 1, 2025 and running through September 30, 2028, aims to engage STEM teacher educators, Noyce program leaders, and other stakeholders in structured knowledge-sharing, technical assistance, and dissemination efforts. Key activities include...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $502,000.00 to Purdue University to examine how K-12 teachers interpret, adapt, and implement research-based instructional practices learned through professional learning programs. The 3-year study (9/1/2025 - 8/31/2028) uses a narrative inquiry approach, including teacher interviews, classroom observations, and reflective activities, to understand teachers' decision-making processes. The findings will inform the development of a knowledge mobilization model that positions teachers as active agents in translating research into classroom practice. This model will then be explored with a broader national sample of professional learning providers and teachers to assess its relevance and applicability across varied contexts. The goal is to improve how research-informed ideas are shared in professional learning and how innovative practices can be supported in real-world school settings.
