This RFP reflects our longstanding interest in supporting research that can inform policy and practice that affect youth. The deadline for letters of inquiry is May 6, 2010. Eligibility Criteria To be eligible for consideration, applicants must: Be employed at a nonprofit institution, either in the United States or abroad. In most instances, these organizations will have 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, set up to receive and process grant awards. However, in rare cases, colleges or universities (such as Arizona State University) will not have 501(c)(3) tax exemption. If your institution fits into this category, we can instead accept an IRS determination letter which states that it is classified as a school under sections 509a1 and 170b1Aii of the IRS Code; Submit a project that is consistent with the stated goals of the RFP; and Reflect high standards of evidence and rigorous methods, commensurate with the RFP's goals.

The FIRE program seeks to facilitate the process by which scholars can cross disciplinary boundaries to acquire the skills and knowledge that would improve their abilities to conduct rigorous research on STEM learning and education. The primary goal of the strand is to facilitate the development of innovative theoretical, methodological, and analytic approaches to understanding complex STEM education issues of national importance and, by so doing, make progress toward solving them. A secondary goal of the strand is to broaden and deepen the pool of investigators engaged in STEM educational research. In order to address this goal, investigators must pair with a mentoring scientist in a to-be-learned field of interest. Proposals therefore have both a research and a professional development component. Investigators may apply at any point in their post-graduate careers.

			Webinar on Fidelity of Implementation with Sharon Lynch Webinar on Fidelity of Implementation with Sharon Lynch Event Date: Wed, 05/26/2010 - 01:00pm EDT to Wed, 05/26/2010 - 02:30pm EDT Sharon Lynch This webinar is a narrative tracing the development of fidelity of implementation measures for a study of the effectiveness of 3 different middle school science curriculum units. Initially, the study was based on a theory of change that predicted that student outcomes would be affected by teachers’ ability to find and enact instructional strategies that were embedded in the curriculum materials. However, when similar strategies were found in comparison teachers’ classes, it was clear that better measures of fidelity were needed. The search to find them suggests that the initial theory of change was too simple. Not only are teachers implicated in fidelity of implementation, so too are the middle school students who participated in the curriculum unit’s activities. The suite of fidelity measures helped us to develop a more interesting and complex theory of change about these science curriculum materials and student learning.
