Research K-12 (DR K-12):</span></b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"> DR K-12 invites proposals that
meet a variety of educational needs, from those that address immediate
challenges facing preK-12 STEM education to those that anticipate the
future when expectations, roles and resources are likely to be aligned
in different ways. DR K-12 especially 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 support learning. Project goals, designs,
and working strategies should be informed by prior research and
practical experience drawn from all relevant disciplines and they
should focus on concepts and skills that are central to STEM
disciplines.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

to this year’s solicitation include: <br>
