About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for Phase I of the Collaboratory to Advance Mathematics Education and Learning (CAMEL) for K-12, with applications due October 5, 2026. Phase I requires research networks that include researchers studying the basic science of learning, education practitioners, and data scientists; Phase II, open only to Phase I awardees, establishes a socio-technological platform for community-building and sustained collaboration.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (two- and four-year institutions accredited and located in the US), non-profit non-academic organizations (independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, and professional societies directly associated with educational or research activities), and federally recognized Tribal Nations. If a proposal includes funding for an international branch campus of a US institution, the applicant must explain the benefit to the project and justify why activities cannot be performed at the US campus.
Phase I proposals seek to generate high-value datasets advancing K-12 mathematics learning and education. The high-value dataset may come from generating a new dataset or increasing the value of an existing dataset. CAMEL draws on the interdisciplinary Science of Learning (neuroscience; cognitive, developmental, and social sciences; computer science; machine learning; engineering; and education research), education practice, and innovations in data science, AI, and technology. The program operates through an agreement with philanthropic partners including the Walton Family Foundation.
NSF expects proposals to demonstrate cutting-edge discovery science, technical innovation, and Gold Standard Science rigor. Proposers are encouraged to align projects with NSF priorities where appropriate. The program falls under Assistance Listing 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences). Award amounts, expected number of awards, period of performance, and cost-share requirements are not specified in the source material.
Synopsis
2 versions
Update #2 · Latest ·
The Collaboratory to Advance Mathematics Education and Learning (CAMEL) for K-12 initiative aims to advance mathematics learning and education through purposeful collaboration that draws on the interdisciplinary Science of Learning (including neuroscience; cognitive, developmental, and social sciences; computer science; machine learning; engineering; and education research), deep experiences in education practice and teaching, and innovations in the use of data science, AI and technology. Through an agreement with philanthropic partners, including the Walton Family Foundation (WFF), CAMEL consists of two phases. Phase I invites proposals for the creation of new research networks to support the generation of high value datasets that aim to advance math learning and education. These research networks must include researchers who study the basic science of learning, education practitioners, and data scientists. The high value dataset may come from either generating a new dataset or by increasing the value of an existing dataset. Phase II, open only to awardees of Phase I, establishes a "collaboratory," which is a socio-technological platform that prioritizes community-building and capacity-building to sustain collaborative efforts to advance math learning and education in K-12.
Expanding Participation in STEM, NSF Priorities and Gold Standard Science:
NSF prioritizes cutting-edge discovery science and engineering research, advancing technology and innovation, and creating opportunities for all Americans. NSF has established priorities set forth by Congress, the administration and the NSF director to promote NSF's mission. Proposers should review the list of NSF priorities and are encouraged to align their proposals with them, where appropriate. NSF also expects the highest standards of scientific rigor, integrity and adherence to appropriate tenets of Gold Standard Science in proposals, as appropriate for the field of science and research modality.

Eligibility
*Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: -Non-profit, non-academic organizations: Independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies and similar organizations located in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational or research activities. -Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs): Two- and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Special Instructions for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US institution of higher education (including through use of sub-awards and consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus. -Tribal Nations: An American Indian or Alaska Native tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village, or community that the Secretary of the Interior acknowledges as a federally recognized tribe pursuant to the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994, 25 U.S.C. §§ 5130-5131.
