1 NSF: Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12)
2 NSF: EHR Core Research (ECR)
3 NSF: Advancing Informal STEM Learning
The Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly
enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research
and development of innovative resources, models and tools (RMTs).
Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM
education and prior research and development efforts that provide
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.j theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. Teachers and
sp?pims_id=500047&org=NSF&sel_org=N students who participate in DRK-12 studies are expected to enhance their
10/16/2014 SF&from=fund
understanding and use of STEM content, practices and skills.
The EHR Core Research (ECR) program establishes a mechanism in the
Directorate for Education and Human Resources to provide funding in
foundational research areas that are broad, essential and enduring. EHR
seeks proposals that will help synthesize, build and/or expand research
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.j foundations in the following core areas: STEM learning, STEM learning
sp?pims_id=504924&org=NSF&sel_org=N environments, workforce development, and broadening participation in
2/3/2015 SF&from=fund
STEM.
AISL seeks to advance new approaches to and evidence-based
understanding of the design and development of STEM learning in
informal environments; provide multiple pathways for broadening access
to and engagement in STEM learning experiences; advance innovative
research on and assessment of STEM learning in informal environments;
and develop understandings of deeper learning by participants. AISL
supports six types of projects: (1) Pathways, (2) Research in Service to
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.j Practice, (3) Innovations in Development, (4) Broad Implementation, (5)

NSF: NSF/Intel Partnership on Cyber-Physical Systems Security
4 and Privacy (CPS-Security)
Comments/Notes
The goal of this partnership between NSF and Intel is to foster novel,
transformative, multidisciplinary approaches that ensure the security of
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.j current and emerging cyber-physical systems, taking into consideration
sp?pims_id=505047&org=NSF&sel_org=N the unique challenges present in this environment relative to other
10/28/2014 SF&from=fund
domains with cybersecurity concerns.
5 NSF: Environmental Chemical Sciences (ECS) Program
The ECS program supports research in basic chemical aspects of our
environment. Programs in the Biological Sciences, Engineering, and
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.j Geosciences Directorates as well as other Federal agencies address other
10/31/2014 sp?pims_id=503416

6 NSF: Chemical Measurement and Imaging Program
Research focusing on chemically-relevant measurement science and
imaging, targeting both improved understanding of new and existing
methods and development of innovative approaches and instruments.
Research areas include but are not limited to sampling and separation
science; electrochemistry; spectrometry; frequency- and time-domain
spectroscopy; sensors and bioassays; and microscopy. Chemical (as
opposed to morphological) imaging and measurement tools probing
chemical properties and processes across a wide range of spatial scales from macroscopic structures down to single molecules - are supported, as
are innovations enabling the monitoring and imaging of rapid chemical
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.j and electronic processes and new approaches to data analysis and

BBE supports fundamental engineering research that advances the
understanding of cellular and biomolecular processes (in vivo , in vitro ,
and/or ex vivo ) and eventually leads to the development of enabling
technology for advanced manufacturing and/or applications in support of
the biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, and bioenergy industries, or with
applications in health or the environment. A quantitative treatment of
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.j biological and engineering problems of biological processes is considered

Enabling women mathematicians to attend conferences in their fields
provides them a valuable opportunity to advance their research activities
and their visibility in the research community. Having more women attend
such meetings also increases the size of the pool from which speakers at
subsequent meetings may be drawn and thus addresses the persistent
problem of the absence of women speakers at some research

There are a variety of reasons to encourage interaction between
mathematicians and educational researchers. National reports
recommend encouraging collaboration between mathematicians and
researchers in education and related fields in order to improve the
education of teachers and students. Communication between
mathematicians and educational researchers is often poor and secondhttps://sites.google.com/site/awmmath/p hand accounts of research in education can be misleading. Particularly
