This grant, offered by the Discovery Research K-12 (DR-K12) program, aims to significantly advance preK-12 student and teacher learning in STEM fields. It supports developing, implementing, and studying innovative educational resources, models, and technologies. Proposals must originate from a research question on effective STEM teaching and learning, leading to creation or adaptation of solutions and demonstration of their impact. The program seeks ideas addressing immediate challenges, anticipating future needs, and challenging learning assumptions. All projects should be research-informed, broadening traditional educational boundaries. Eligible activities include research and development, exploratory and synthesis projects, and related conferences or workshops.

| Description: | The Discovery Research K-12 (DR-K12) program seeks to enable significant advances in preK-12 student and teacher learning of the STEM disciplines through the development, implementation, and study of resources, models, and technologies for use by students, teachers, and policymakers. Activities funded under this solicitation begin with a research question or hypothesis about effective preK-12 STEM learning and teaching; develop, adapt, or study innovative resources, models, or technologies; and demonstrate if, how, for whom, and why their implementation affects learning.DR-K12 invites projects 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-K12 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 reach students and teachers. All projects should be informed by current research and broaden the boundaries of schools and disciplines. DR-K12 accepts research and development, exploratory, and synthesis projects, as well as conferences and workshops related to the mission of the DR-K12 program. |
