The RISE Postdoctoral Training Program will train a cohort of postdoctoral scholars in STEM Education research using a framework based on the RISE principles (Nasir et al., 2021). The RISE principles hold that learning is: Rooted in basic biological and cognitive processes; Integrated with socioemotional and identity development; Situated in and shaped by social and cultural contexts; and Experienced as embodied and socially coordinated. Guided by these principles, the research and education training plan features five key components: (1) individualized mentorship; (2) research apprenticeships with existing projects that address one or more of the RISE principles; (3) support for independent research according to fellows’ interests and guided by their primary and secondary mentors; (4) interdisciplinary training; and (5) development of professional competencies, including publishing and grant writing. The program integrates cutting edge science on effective mentorship with the mentoring team’s interdisciplinary expertise in the learning sciences and STEM education. The program will nurture a cohort of emerging researchers committed to serving underrepresented communities who are prepared to both push the frontiers of inclusive STEM education and to train future researchers.The program features a theory-driven, resource-rich, cohort-based approach, offering customized mentored experiences to ensure the engagement and retention of diverse researchers participating in community-engaged research. The proposed program rests upon the proposition that a generative path towards creating more equitable STEM learning outcomes requires recognizing that extant views of learning limit widely held beliefs and visions about what can be learned, who can learn, and importantly, how learning occurs. The program will thus leverage combined insights from interdisciplinary studies of the science of learning as detailed in the RISE framework. The work will be driven by a core of established, highly productive math education and math cognition researchers with interdisciplinary yet complementary expertise who manage a large slate of existing projects with which postdoctoral fellows can engage. Moreover, the project will enlist support from UW–Madison’s nationally recognized institutes for promoting effective mentor training and community-engaged STEM research. In sum, the RISE Postdoctoral Training Program will marshal an array of expertise and resources to nurture a cohort of new researchers from diverse backgrounds who are prepared both (a) to push the frontiers of inclusive STEM education and (b) to achieve sustained impacts by ensuring greater participation in STEM by successive generations of learners from diverse groups.This project is supported by NSF’s STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (STEM Ed PRF) Program with co-funding from the Discovery Research PreK-12 Program (DRK-12). The STEM Ed PRF Program aims to enhance the research knowledge, skills, and practices of recent doctorates in STEM, STEM education, education, and related disciplines to advance their preparation to engage in fundamental and applied research that advances knowledge within the field. The DRK-12 Program seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects.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.

RISE博士后培训计划将使用基于RISE原则的框架（Nasir等人，2021年）。RISE原则认为，学习是：植根于基本的生物和认知过程;与社会情感和身份发展相结合;位于社会和文化背景中并受其塑造;并作为体现和社会协调的体验。在这些原则的指导下，研究和教育培训计划有五个主要组成部分：（1）个性化指导;（2）与涉及一项或多项RISE原则的现有项目进行研究学徒;（3）支持根据研究员的兴趣并在其初级和中级导师的指导下进行独立研究;（4）跨学科培训;（5）研究员培训;（6）研究员培训。以及（5）专业能力的发展，包括出版和撰写赠款。该计划将有效指导的尖端科学与指导团队在学习科学和STEM教育方面的跨学科专业知识相结合。该计划将培养一批致力于为代表性不足的社区服务的新兴研究人员，他们准备推动包容性STEM教育的前沿，并培养未来的研究人员。该计划采用理论驱动，资源丰富，基于队列的方法，提供定制的指导体验，以确保参与社区参与研究的多元化研究人员的参与和保留。拟议的计划基于这样一个命题，即创造更公平的STEM学习成果的生成路径需要认识到，现存的学习观点限制了人们对可以学到什么、谁可以学习以及重要的是学习如何发生的广泛信念和愿景。因此，该计划将利用RISE框架中详细介绍的学习科学跨学科研究的综合见解。这项工作将由一个核心的建立，高效的数学教育和数学认知研究人员与跨学科但互补的专业知识谁管理一个大石板的现有项目与博士后研究员可以从事。此外，该项目将争取来自威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的国家认可的机构，促进有效的导师培训和社区参与干研究的支持。总的来说，RISE博士后培训计划将汇集一系列专业知识和资源，培养一批来自不同背景的新研究人员，他们准备（a）推动包容性STEM教育的前沿，（B）通过确保来自不同群体的连续几代学习者更多地参与STEM来实现持续的影响。该项目由NSF的STEM教育博士后研究奖学金支持（STEM艾德PRF）计划与发现研究PreK-12计划（DRK-12）共同资助。STEM艾德PRF计划旨在提高STEM，STEM教育，教育和相关学科的近期博士学位的研究知识，技能和实践，以促进他们准备从事基础和应用研究，促进该领域内的知识。DRK-12计划旨在通过研究和开发创新资源，模型和工具，显着提高preK-12学生和教师的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。DRK-12项目中的项目建立在STEM教育的基础研究以及为拟议项目提供理论和经验依据的先前研究和开发工作的基础上。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
