ECR Projects

Explore past and current fundamental STEM education research projects across the three research areas that NSF's EDU Core Research (ECR) program funds, as well as across ECR funding types. Other search filters draw from both NSF's data and the ECR Hub's hand coding of award abstracts.

Ninth-grade biology students create cell models using clay.

ECR Hub: Advancing the Long-Term Potential of Fundamental Research

Effective: 2022-2027

Funding Type: Other

Principal Investigator: David I Miller

Institution: American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences

As a 5-year resource center, the EHR Core Research – Resource Coordination Hub (ECR Hub) is designed to advance the ways in which NSF’s ECR Core (ECR) and ECR Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (ECR:BCSER) programs can better use and support fundamental research on STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development. ECR-funded research has the potential to address pressing national problems by developing foundational knowledge...

The Advancing Coherent and Equitable Systems of Science Education Project

Effective: 2019-2024

Funding Type: Other

Principal Investigator: Philip L Bell

Institution: University of Washington

This project will examine how partnerships among state science leaders, education researchers and education practitioners cultivate vertical coherence and equity in state science education. This is an important study because in most states, the student population is becoming more diverse, and states need help in finding ways to better serve schools and districts within their jurisdictions. Through this effort, state science leaders will participate in a networked improvement community model...

Advancing Core STEM Research Through Scientific Studies and Capacity Building with Large-Scale Data Resources

Effective: 2017-2024

Funding Type: Other

Principal Investigator: Felice J Levine

Institution: American Educational Research Association

This project was submitted in response to EHR Core Research (ECR) program announcement NSF 15-509. The ECR program of fundamental research in STEM education provides funding in critical research areas that are essential, broad and enduring. EHR seeks proposals that will help synthesize, build and/or expand research foundations in the following focal areas: STEM learning, STEM learning environments, STEM workforce development, and broadening participation in STEM. The ECR program is...
