The EHR Department is offering the Education and Learning Research Grant to support research on STEM education and learning. The REAL program focuses on accumulating robust evidence to understand, build theory, and propose interventions to address challenges in STEM interest, education, learning, and participation. This grant aims to advance research on STEM learning from childhood to workforce participation for all groups, fostering improvements in formal and informal STEM learning contexts and increasing public understanding of science and engineering. The grant will fund research on human learning in STEM, STEM learning environments, and broadening participation in STEM education.

| Description:: | The Research on Education and Learning (REAL) program represents the substantive foci of three previous EHR programs: Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE), Research in Disabilities Education (RDE), and Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE). What is distinctive about the new REAL program is the emphasis placed on the accumulation of robust evidence to inform efforts to (a) understand, (b) build theory to explain, and (c) suggest interventions (and innovations) to address persistent challenges in STEM interest, education, learning, and participation. The program supports advances in research on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning and education by fostering efforts to explore all aspects of education research from foundational knowledge to improvements in STEM learning and learning contexts, both formal and informal, from childhood through adulthood, for all groups, and from the earliest developmental stages of life through participation in the workforce, resulting in increased public understanding of science and engineering. The REAL program will fund research on, human learning in STEM; learning in STEM learning environments, and broadening participation research. |
