Description
ECR’s
Building Capacity for STEM Education Research (ECR: BCSER) solicitation
supports projects that build individuals’ capacity to carry out high quality
STEM education research that will enhance the nation’s STEM education enterprise
and broaden the pool of researchers that can conduct fundamental research in
STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM
fields, and STEM workforce development.
Specifically,
ECR: BCSER supports activities that enable early and mid-career researchers to
acquire the requisite expertise and skills to conduct rigorous fundamental
research in STEM education. ECR: BCSER seeks to fund research career
development activities on topics that are relevant to qualitative and
quantitative research methods and design, including the collection and analysis
of new qualitative or quantitative data, secondary analyses using extant
datasets, or meta-analyses.
This
career development may be accomplished through investigator-initiated projects
or through professional development institutes that enable researchers to
integrate methodological strategies with theoretical and practical substantive
issues in STEM education. Early and mid-career faculty new to STEM education
research, particularly underrepresented minority faculty and faculty at
minority-serving and two-year institutions, are encouraged to submit
proposals.
As
a special emphasis under this solicitation, ECR: BCSER seeks proposals that
will result in a single award for the development and implementation of an ECR
Data Resource Hub. The hub will facilitate data sharing and analysis and
provide technical assistance to advance data skills, tools, and resources
across the STEM education research community.
