This award to New York University will provide support for a workshop on Mind, Brain, and Education scheduled to be held in New York City in January 2020. It will bring researchers from multiple fields (e.g., education research, cognitive science, neuroscience) together with education practitioners (e.g., teachers, district leaders, parents) to share ideas about brain research and STEM learning in both formal and informal contexts. It will be an opportunity for researchers to share the results of their cutting-edge work on such topics as numerical processing and STEM problem solving with educators and, in turn, for educators to have direct input to researchers about issues concerning the translation to practice. It will also provide educators with the opportunity to help drive basic and applied research agendas. The goal of the workshop is to develop new models for sustained collaborations among researchers, educators, parents, and policy influencers. The project is funded by the EHR Core Research program, which supports fundamental research that advances the research literature on STEM learning.The workshop will explore innovative models of interaction between researchers and educators in the nascent field of Mind, Brain, and Education, centering on collaboratories - table discussions on specific topics led by a range of top experts so as to foster dialogue - as well as networking sessions, rapid-fire talks, keynote addresses, and a session devoted to discovering new models for sustained interaction of the gathered communities. The specific topics will may include cognitive neuroscientific findings related to inducing durable memories in STEM, cognitive findings about the geometric intuitions that underlie formal learning in mathematics, establishing researcher-practitioner partnerships in STEM education, teaching science at the secondary school level, supporting museum-university collaborations, and best practices in public outreach.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项授予纽约大学，将为定于 2020 年 1 月在纽约市举办的关于心灵、大脑和教育的研讨会提供支持。研讨会将使来自多个领域（例如教育研究、认知科学、神经科学）的研究人员与教育从业者（例如教师、地区领导、家长）聚集在一起，在正式和非正式的背景下分享有关大脑研究和 STEM 学习的想法。这将是研究人员与教育工作者分享他们在数值处理和 STEM 问题解决等主题方面的前沿工作成果的机会，反过来，教育工作者也可以就有关转化为实践的问题向研究人员直接提供意见。它还将为教育工作者提供帮助推动基础和应用研究议程的机会。研讨会的目标是开发新的模型，以促进研究人员、教育工作者、家长和政策影响者之间的持续合作。该项目由 EHR 核心研究计划资助，该计划支持推动 STEM 学习研究文献的基础研究。研讨会将探讨心智、大脑和教育这一新兴领域的研究人员和教育工作者之间互动的创新模式，以合作为中心——由一系列顶级专家主导的针对特定主题的桌面讨论，以促进对话——以及网络会议、快速演讲、主题演讲、 一场会议致力于发现聚集社区持续互动的新模式。具体主题可能包括与在 STEM 中诱导持久记忆相关的认知神经科学研究结果、关于数学正式学习背后的几何直觉的认知发现、在 STEM 教育中建立研究人员与实践者的伙伴关系、中学阶段的科学教学、支持博物馆-大学合作以及公共宣传的最佳实践。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并已被 通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。
