NSF Research on Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning program proposals due Oct. 18

The purpose of the National Science Foundation’s Research on Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning program is to fund exploratory and synergistic research in emerging technologies (to include, but not limited to, artificial intelligence, robotics, and immersive or augmenting technologies) for teaching and learning in the future. The program accepts proposals that focus on learning, teaching, or a combination of both.

The scope of the program is broad, with a special interest on diverse learner/educator populations, contexts, and content, including teaching and learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in foundational areas that enable STEM (e.g. self-regulation, literacy, communication, collaboration, creativity, and socio-emotional skills). Research in this program should be informed by the convergence (synthesis) of multiple disciplines (e.g. learning sciences; discipline-based education research; computer and information science and engineering; design; and cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences).

Within this broad scope, the program also encourages projects that investigate teaching and learning related to futuristic and highly technological work environments. Proposals are due Monday, Oct. 18.

Please note: Projects will be funded up to a total of $850,000 per project with a project length of three years. An individual may participate as principal investigator, co-principal investigator, or senior personnel in no more than a total of one proposal in response to this solicitation.

Please review the program solicitation for complete details about this program. If you are interested in pursuing this fellowship, contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education.
