Funding Opportunities for Research on Methodologies for STEM Education

The National Science Foundation (NSF)’s Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) EHR Core Research Program has released a new letter detailing opportunities supporting psychological scientists and others who wish to study methodologies supporting inferences in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education.

The program “invites proposals on the development, application, and extension of formal models and methodologies for STEM education research and evaluation, including methods for improving statistical modeling, qualitative modeling, measurement, replication, and learning analytics.” Research projects may address, among other things:

Advances in research on evaluation in STEM education
Advances in linguistic analysis applied to STEM education
Development of models and methodologies to improve and build replication in STEM education research
Advances in Bayesian or computational modeling of STEM education data
Improving methods for data sharing for STEM education research

Interested scientists should examine the NSF ECR Core Research Program site for more information on how to submit a grant proposal. Full proposals are due September 13, 2018; however, researchers can submit for conference grants as well as the EAGER funding mechanism (designed to support exploratory work) throughout the year.

Open Science 2.0: Advancing Reform Via Diversity, Communities, Education, and Theory

Open science reforms have contributed to a more rigorous and robust psychological science, but there is still much to improve.

Stories in Action

Stories may complement established policy tools. Walsh and colleagues define the elements of storytelling and discuss stories’ key features and functions, providing design principles for policymakers interested in building stories.
