The Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering
(REESE) program seeks to advance research at the frontiers of STEM
learning and education, and to provide the foundational knowledge
necessary to improve STEM learning and education in current and emerging
learning contexts, both formal and informal, from childhood through
adulthood, for all groups, and from before school through to graduate
school and beyond into the workforce. The goals of the REESE program
are: (1) to catalyze discovery and innovation at the frontiers of STEM
learning and education; (2) to stimulate the field to produce high
quality and robust research results through the progress of theory,
method, and human resources; and (3) to coordinate and transform
advances in education and learning research. In coordination with the
Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE) and Research on
Disabilities Education (RDE) programs, REESE supports research on
broadening participation in STEM education. REESE pursues its mission by
developing an interdisciplinary research portfolio focusing on core
scientific questions about STEM learning; it welcomes Fostering
Interdisciplinary Research on Education (FIRE) projects, previously
called for in a separate solicitation. REESE places particular
importance upon the involvement of young investigators in the projects,
at doctoral, postdoctoral, and early career stages, as well as the
involvement of STEM disciplinary experts. Research questions related to
educational research methodology and measurement are also central to
REESE activities.
