Evaluative Research and Evaluation Capacity Building (EREC) and Research on Learning and Education (ROLE) (EREC/ROLE)More information about this funding opportunity are
posted on the NSF
web site.
Evaluative Research and Capacity Building (EREC) The EREC Program seeks proposals that offer unique approaches to evaluation practice in the generation of knowledge for the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education community and for broad policymaking within the research and education enterprise. Successful proposals may focus on evaluations of multiple education programs or projects with similar objectives, may bundle several programs or projects together to examine major STEM education themes, may focus on various facets or common elements among programs or projects, or may focus on the development of capacity within the education evaluation field. Research on Learning and Education (ROLE) The ROLE program's focus on research complements the EREC focus on evaluation. ROLE seeks to capitalize on important developments across a wide range of fields related to human learning and to STEM education. It supports research across a continuum that includes 1) the biological basis of human learning; 2) behavioral, cognitive, affective and social aspects of human learning; 3) STEM learning in formal and informal educational settings; and 4) changing educational systems to improve STEM learning. The ROLE Program aims to advance the knowledge base within and across the intersections of these multidisciplinary areas. It encourages projects that reconcile and integrate basic research and educational practice, and generate hypotheses from one disciplinary area that can be tested and refined in another.
