Discovery Research PreK–12 Grant
The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Discovery Research PreK–12 (DRK–12) program seeks to catalyze research and development of STEM education innovations or approaches that can serve as models for use by the nation’s formal STEM education infrastructure (e.g., schools, districts, states, teachers). A new solicitation, covering 2020 and 2021, includes a number of changes. It also invites proposals that address immediate challenges facing preK-12 STEM education as well as those that anticipate radically different structures and functions of preK-12 teaching and learning. Proposals are due Oct. 7, 2020.
