This grant is for promoting research and innovation in methodologies for evaluation, particularly within STEM education. It aims to support the development of innovative approaches to assess the impacts and usefulness of STEM education programs and initiatives. Furthermore, the program seeks to build upon and expand the theoretical foundations for evaluating STEM education and workforce development efforts, including adapting successful methodologies from other fields. A key objective is also to grow the capacity and infrastructure of the broader evaluation field. The program supports various proposal types, including Exploratory Projects for proof-of-concept studies, more extensive Full-Scale Projects, and proposals for workshops and conferences.
