NSF Research on Innovative Technologies for Enhanced Learning proposals due Jan. 24

• Proposal deadline: Wednesday, Jan. 24
• Budget limit: $900,000
• Project duration: Three years

The purpose of the National Science Foundation Research on Innovative Technologies for Enhanced Learning (RITEL) program is to support early-stage research in emerging technologies for teaching and learning that respond to pressing needs in authentic (real-world) educational environments. RITEL supports future-oriented exploratory and synergistic research in emerging technologies for teaching and learning, including, but not limited to:

• Artificial intelligence (AI)
• Robotics
• Immersive or augmenting technologies

The program accepts proposals that focus on learning, teaching, or a combination of both. The scope of the program is broad and includes 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). RITEL supports research in all learning contexts (e.g., formal, informal, workplace) and for all learner populations.
