Description
The
National Science Foundation (NSF) announced PD-18-1998,
Accelerating Discovery: Educating the Future STEM Workforce. NSF seeks to invest
in projects that can educate the STEM workforce to advance discovery in the six
research Big Ideas: Harnessing the Data Revolution; The Future of Work;
Navigating the New Arctic; Multi-messenger Astrophysics; The Quantum Leap; and
Understanding the Rules of Life. NSF is particularly interested in
supporting innovative education research and development in two Big Ideas: The
Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier and Harnessing
the Data Revolution for 21st Century Science and
Engineering. Projects of interest include:
innovative uses of technology and big data to understand learning; educational
approaches that prepare tomorrow’s innovators to use technology and big data to
understand the natural world; effects of advances in intelligent agents on STEM
teaching and learning; and evaluation of disruptive educational interventions on
long-term student outcomes. We encourage projects to partner with industry,
public, and private sectors to define the needs of tomorrow’s workforce and
develop educational and learning strategies to meet those needs. Proposals
should address near-, mid-, and long-term challenges and opportunities facing
the development of STEM professionals or anticipate new structures and functions
of the STEM learning and teaching enterprise.
