Last week, NSF archived the ECR:Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (ECR:BCSER) program (NSF 22-548). ECR:BCSER will NOT accept proposals for the February 27, 2026 deadline. We've compiled some tips for potentially retooling a ECR:BCSER proposal idea for other NSF programs: (1/3)

💡Next up in our ECR Impact Stories series: a project focused on AI and math teacher instruction. This ECR:Core project developed models that can automatically classify teaching activities in videos of elementary math classes. Learn more about the impact of this project: ecrhub.org/impact-stori...

Quote from impact story: "The models we developed will make it easier for: elementary teachers to analyze their mathematics instruction; instructional coaches, principals, and teacher educators to support elementary teachers in teaching mathematics; and researchers to analyze videos of elementary mathematics instruction in an efficient way." - Peter Youngs, PI - NSF #2000487

Join @aeraedresearch.bsky.social tomorrow, September 10, at 2 p.m. ET for an informational webinar about the AERA-NSF Grants Program! The AERA-NSF Grants Program is accepting proposals for both Dissertation and Research Grants through Oct. 6. Registration required: aera.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The third impact story in our ECR Impact Stories series features a BCSER:IID project. Project Let’s Talk Code supported teachers introducing computer science to high school students in the Four Corners region of the U.S. Learn more about the impact of this project: ecrhub.org/impact-stori...

Quote from the submitted impact story: "Launched in the summer of 2021, Let's Talk Code conducted nine professional development sessions for 119 non-computer science teachers across 34 schools, impacting 214 Native American students." - Ashish Amresh, PI
