After registering, we will contact you in the coming weeks with webinar access details. Note that space is limited and registration is first come, first served.

Discovery Research K-12 (DR K-12): DR K-12 invites proposals that meet a variety of educational needs, from those that address immediate challenges facing preK-12 STEM education to those that anticipate the future when expectations, roles and resources are likely to be aligned in different ways. DR K-12 especially encourages proposals that challenge existing assumptions about learning and teaching within or across STEM fields, envision needs of learners in 10-15 years, and consider new and innovative ways to support learning. Project goals, designs, and working strategies should be informed by prior research and practical experience drawn from all relevant disciplines and they should focus on concepts and skills that are central to STEM disciplines.

Revisions to this year’s solicitation include:
(1) Adjustments to the award amount and duration of Full Research and Development awards;
(2) A call for highly innovative learning materials into Strand 2 and eliminated previous Challenge 5; and
(3) New deadlines for conference and workshop proposal submissions, which may no longer be submitted at any time during the year and are now due at the same deadline as all other DRK-12 proposals.

The DR K-12 program solicitation has been revised in order to clarify several aspects of the call for proposals. It includes a new challenge for development and testing of innovative instructional materials and a revised section on evaluation that clarifies expectations. It also explains the new requirement for submitting Letters of Intent, the NSF policy regarding salary compensation for senior project personnel, and the regulations about supplemental documents that can be submitted as part of a proposal. 

Selected additional NSF Programs with open solicitations:

Cyberlearning: Transforming Education: Research supported by the Cyberlearning program will explore the opportunities for learning made possible by new technologies, how to help learners capitalize on those opportunities, new practices that are made possible by learning technologies, and ways of using technology to promote deep and lasting learning of content, practices, skills, attitudes, and/or dispositions needed for engaged and productive citizenship.

Promoting Research and Innovation in Methodologies for Evaluation  (PRIME): The PRIME program seeks to support research on evaluation with special emphasis on exploring innovative new approaches for determining the impacts and usefulness of evaluations of STEM education projects and programs; building on and expanding the theoretical foundations for evaluating STEM education and workforce development initiatives, including translating and adapting approaches from other fields; and growing the capacity and infrastructure of the evaluation field.

Transforming STEM Learning  (TSL): The TSL program invites interdisciplinary teams of STEM content specialists, experts in relevant technologies, STEM formal and informal education specialists, researchers with expertise in the learning sciences, and specialists in education research and evaluation methods to submit proposals for research projects that (1) Study efficacy of existing prototypes for innovations like virtual schools, special STEM schools, and educational programs that combine opportunities of formal and informal learning resources in their communities; or (2) Design and conduct exploratory development of new potentially transformative models for STEM learning environments.

During this informal webinar, we'll give you a run-down of the website's features, walk you through editing your project and member profiles, introduce some of the site's collaboration and dissemination tools, and respond to participant questions. After a short break, participants have the option to reconvene for CADRE Website Orientation 102.

If you are interested in participating, please sign up on this page OR email CADRE@edc.org.

During this informal webinar, we'll guide those of you with a basic knowledge of the website (and/or those proposing sessions for this year's PI meeting!) through identifying potential collaborators, setting up secure virtual spaces to share and archive resources, and managing both group and project membership. For those who are new to the CADRE website, we recommend attending CADRE Website Orientation 101, immediately preceding this event.
