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.
