The Discovery Research K-12 (DR K-12) program offers this grant to advance preK-12 student and teacher STEM learning. This program supports projects that develop, study, and implement innovative resources, models, and technologies. Proposals should address research questions or hypotheses aimed at improving STEM education, exploring how new approaches impact learning outcomes. The DR K-12 program encourages projects that challenge existing assumptions, anticipate future educational needs, and explore novel teaching methods. While primarily focused on formal educational settings, insights from informal learning are also welcomed. Successful proposals must outline a path for national adoption of their findings or products within the K-12 enterprise. This grant supports exploratory, full research and development, and synthesis projects, alongside relevant conferences and workshops.

| Description: | The Discovery Research K-12 (DR K-12) program seeks to enable significant advances in preK-12 student and teacher learning of the STEM disciplines through development, study, and implementation of resources, models, and technologies for use by students, teachers, and policymakers. Projects funded under this solicitation begin with a research question or a hypothesis about how to improve preK-12 STEM learning and teaching. Projects create or adapt and study innovative resources, models, or technologies and determine how and why implementation affects STEM learning.DR K-12 invites proposals that meet a variety of educational needs, from those that address immediate and pressing challenges facing preK-12 STEM education to those that anticipate opportunities for the future. DR K-12 especially encourages proposals that challenge existing assumptions about learning and teaching within or across STEM fields, envision needs of learners in 10-15 years, and consider new and innovative ways to educate students and teachers. Project goals, designs, and working strategies should be informed by prior research and practical experience drawn from all relevant disciplines, while focusing on concepts and skills that are central to STEM education. The DR K-12 program is primarily concerned with improving education of students and teachers in formal settings. As appropriate, the program encourages projects also to draw from knowledge and practice of learning in informal settings. While many projects supported under this solicitation will focus on exploratory development and testing of innovative ideas for some specific facet of STEM education, all proposals must explain how the work can lead ultimately to successful adoption of findings or products in the K-12 enterprise on a national scale.The DR K-12 program accepts proposals for exploratory projects, full research and development projects, and synthesis projects, as well as for conferences and workshops related to the mission of the program. |
