About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for a cooperative agreement to establish a Resource Center on Transformative Education Research and Translation (DRK-12 RC) within the Discovery Research PreK-12 program, with no posted application deadline specified in the solicitation.
Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations (U.S.-based commercial organizations, including small businesses, with strong capabilities in scientific or engineering research or education), non-profit non-academic organizations (independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies, and similar organizations located in the U.S. directly associated with educational or research activities), state and local governments, institutions of higher education (two- and four-year accredited IHEs, including community colleges, with U.S. campuses), and federally recognized tribal nations. For-profit and non-profit applicants must demonstrate strong capabilities in scientific or engineering research or education and a passion for innovation. Proposals involving funding to international branch campuses of U.S. IHEs must explain the benefits to the project and justify why activities cannot be performed at the U.S. campus.
The DRK-12 RC will function as an intellectual partner supporting NSF's goal to enhance the influence and reach of DRK-12 Program investments. The Resource Center will identify and share promising resources, tools, approaches, and research findings with teachers, school leaders, administrators, and policymakers; facilitate communication and collaboration among current, former, and prospective DRK-12 award recipients to build STEM education researchers' capacity; and raise national visibility of the DRK-12 program's goals and impacts. The Center will work collaboratively with NSF, DRK-12 constituent communities, and other NSF resource hubs and centers to design, implement, and evaluate these activities. No cost share is mentioned. Award amount, number of awards, and period of performance are not specified in the solicitation text provided.
Synopsis
This solicitation seeks proposals for the Discovery Research PreK-12 program's Resource Center (DRK-12 RC) on Transformative Education Research and Translation.
The DRK-12 RC will be an intellectual partner as NSF seeks to enhance the overall influence and reach of the DRK-12 Program's research and development investments. In this partner role, the DRK-12 RC will support and recruit diverse, multi-sector constituencies with the goal of achieving the field-, knowledge-, and partnership-building aims of the DRK-12 program. Further, it is expected that the Resource Center on Transformative Education Research and Translation will play a central role in helping the DRK-12 Program to:
(1) identify and share promising resources, tools, approaches, and research findings with teachers, school leaders and administrators and policymakers for feedback, strategic use and the advancement of science;
(2) facilitate communication and collaboration among current, former, and prospective DRK-12 award recipients as a means of building STEM education researchers' capacity to conduct rigorous and meaningful work across the full range of project types supported by the program; and
(3) further raise the national visibility of the DRK-12 program's goals and impacts.
The DRK-12 RC is expected to work collaboratively with NSF and the DRK-12 Program's constituent communities-including other NSF resource hubs and centers-to design, implement, and evaluate these three broad activities.
