Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering: The Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (DRL) in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports basic and applied research and evaluation that enhances science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning and teaching. The Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE) program aims at advancing research at the frontiers of STEM learning, education, and evaluation, and at providing the foundation knowledge necessary to improve STEM teaching and learning at all educational levels and in all settings. This solicitation calls for four types of proposals—Knowledge Diffusion, Empirical Research, Large Empirical Research, and Diffusion and Evaluation. The goals of the REESE program are: (1) to advance discovery and innovation at the frontiers of STEM learning, education, and evaluation; (2) to stimulate the field to produce high quality and robust research results through the advancement of theory, method, and human resources; and (3) to help coordinate advances in education, learning research, and evaluation efforts. REESE advances its mission by developing an interdisciplinary research portfolio focusing on core scientific questions of learning in real and emerging educational contexts, from childhood through adulthood, and from before school through to graduate school and beyond into the workforce. In addition, research questions related to education and evaluation are central to the REESE activity.
