Advancing Knowledge and Building the Research Infrastructure in Education and STEM Learning

该项目继续AERA赠款方案的工作，该方案向博士生和教育研究科学家提供有竞争力的研究赠款，这些科学家对国家教育统计中心的大规模国家和国际数据集进行二级分析。 该项目还将开展两项新的工作：（1）通过与城市研究所管理的国家教育研究纵向数据分析中心的合作，该项目可以访问和使用国家纵向数据库，用于科学研究学生的学习，表现和STEM成就;以及（2）将探索一个方案组成部分，以促进对来自NSF资助的、有机会进一步发现的、由国家科学基金会发起的STEM项目的数据进行二次分析。 AERA赠款计划旨在提高STEM教育领域的能力，通过其赠款，研讨会的结果以及探索STEM教育研究中关键问题的“智库”活动产生的出版物，利用大规模数据集进行高质量的研究。

This project continues the work of the AERA Grants Program, which provides competitive research grants to both doctoral students and education research scientists who conduct secondary analyses of large-scale national and international data sets from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The project also will carry out two new strands of work: (1) through a partnership with the National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research, managed by the Urban Institute, the project enables access to and use of state longitudinal data bases for scientific research on student learning, performance, and achievement in STEM; and (2) a programmatic component to foster secondary analysis of data emerging from NSF-funded investigator-initiated STEM projects that have opportunities for further discovery will be explored. The AERA Grants Program seeks to increase the capacity of the STEM education field to conduct high quality research using large-scale data sets through its grants, the findings from workshops, and the publications resulting from "think tank" activities that explore critical issues in STEM education research.
