Description
The
EHR Core Research (ECR) program of fundamental research in STEM education
provides funding in critical research areas that are essential, broad and
enduring. EHR seeks proposals that will help synthesize, build and/or expand
research foundations in the following focal areas: STEM learning, STEM learning environments, STEM workforce development, and
broadening participation in STEM. The ECR program is distinguished by its
emphasis on the accumulation of robust evidence to inform efforts to (a)
understand, (b) build theory to explain, and (c) suggest interventions (and
innovations) to address persistent challenges in STEM interest, education,
learning, and participation. The program supports advances in fundamental
research on STEM learning and education by fostering efforts to develop
foundational knowledge in STEM learning and learning contexts, both formal and
informal, from childhood through adulthood, for all groups, and from the
earliest developmental stages of life through participation in the workforce,
resulting in increased public understanding of science and engineering. The ECR
program will fund fundamental research on: human learning in STEM; learning in
STEM learning environments, STEM workforce development, and research on
broadening participation in STEM.
