About the ECR:Core Solicitation 

The ECR program supports curiosity-driven and use-inspired fundamental research that contributes to the general, explanatory knowledge that underlies STEM education.

Fundamental research:

• Generates knowledge that advances research literature.
• Is grounded in theoretical or empirical frameworks that inform research questions.
• Does not necessarily generate findings with immediate applications at the practical level although the research may have implications for policy or practice.
