- Interactive Digital Media STEM Resources for Pre-College and Informal Science
Education Audiences (STTR) (R41/R42 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed); January 5,
2018
Agency
National
Institute of General Medical Sciences
Description
The
purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide
opportunities for eligible small business concerns (SBCs) to submit STTR grant
applications to develop interactive digital media science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM) resources that address student career choice
and health and medicine topics for: (1) pre-kindergarten to grade 12 (P-12)
students and pre- and in-service teachers ("Teachers") or (2) Informal science
education (ISE), i.e., outside the classroom, audiences. Interactive digital
media (IDM) are defined as products and services on digital computer-based
systems which respond to the user's actions by presenting content such as text,
moving image, animation, video, audio, and video games. There is a large body of
evidence that IDM technology has the potential to support learning in a variety
of contexts from primary and secondary schools, to universities, adult education
and workplace training. IDM is widely used to train, educate, and encourage
behavioral changes in a virtual world format where progressive learning,
feedback on success and user control are combined into an interactive and
engaging experience. It is anticipated that this STTR FOA will facilitate the
translation of new or existing health and medicine-based, P-12 STEM curricula
and museum exhibits into educational Interactive Digital Media STEM (IDM STEM)
resources that will provide a hands-on, inquiry-based and learning-by-doing
experience for students, teachers and the community.
