About the event
The EHR Core Research (ECR) program invites proposals for fundamental research (curiosity-driven and use-inspired basic research) that contributes to the general, explanatory knowledge that underlies STEM education in one or more of the three broadly conceived Research Areas: STEM Learning and Learning Environments, Broadening Participation in STEM fields, and STEM Workforce Development. Within this framework, the ECR program supports a wide range of fundamental STEM education research activities, aimed at learners of all groups and ages in formal and informal settings.
