The Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) is offering the Research on Education and Learning (REAL) grant to advance STEM learning and education. This grant is for fostering robust evidence to understand, theorize, and develop interventions addressing persistent challenges in STEM interest, education, learning, and participation. REAL supports all aspects of education research, from foundational knowledge to practical improvements in STEM learning contexts, both formal and informal. It covers all ages, from childhood to adulthood, and all demographic groups, aiming to enhance public understanding of science and engineering. Funded research areas include human learning in STEM, learning within STEM environments, and broadening participation initiatives.

| 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. |
