- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the National Academy of Sciences to support equity in preK-12 STEM education. Under the grant, the National Academy of Sciences will deliver products and services from May 15, 2021 through April 30, 2024 to advance the goals of the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The STEM Education program aims to ensure the vitality of the nation's science, technology,...
- 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 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 (NSF) awarded a $1,599,898 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). This 5-year award (08/15/2024 - 07/31/2029) will support NAS's leadership in advancing science education from pre-K through adulthood across formal and informal settings. The project aims to improve the knowledge base for science education, identify critical policy and practice issues, translate research into evidence-based guidelines,...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will develop and research a network centered around a science center to foster intergenerational STEM learning through making activities. The $499,586 award to the Regents of the University of Michigan will establish a network of STEM learning hubs, such as a Boys and Girls Club and school-based programs, to promote innovation and STEM learning. The network will engage community members in...
- The University of Washington was awarded a $318,932 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to support the collaborative research project "Creating a Mechanism for Youth to Document Out-of-School-Time STEM Learning as a Means for Expanding Educational Pathways." The two-year grant, awarded September 15, 2021, will fund the development of tools and methods for youth to document their out-of-school STEM learning experiences in order to...
- 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 $1,100,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the National Academy of Sciences. The award will fund a new consensus study titled "Enhancing the Reach and Contributions of Informal STEM Learning" to be completed by February 29, 2028. The study aims to update a previous 2009 report and codify current knowledge on supporting learning across informal STEM environments. The goal is to inform effective decision-making in practice, policy, and research related to informal STEM education programming and opportunities. The study will help identify gaps where additional informal STEM education would be valuable and better enable decision-makers to advocate for high-quality STEM learning experiences outside of formal school settings.
