About this opportunity

FIRE is a new strand of the Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE) program (NSF 09-601) and it is anticipated that after this first competition, FIRE will be incorporated into the REESE solicitation.

The FIRE program seeks to facilitate the process by which scholars can cross disciplinary boundaries to acquire the skills and knowledge that would improve their abilities to conduct rigorous research on STEM learning and education.

The primary goal of the strand is to facilitate the development of innovative theoretical, methodological, and analytic approaches to understanding complex STEM education issues of national importance and, by so doing, make progress toward solving them. A secondary goal of the strand is to broaden and deepen the pool of investigators engaged in STEM educational research.

In order to address this goal, investigators must pair with a mentoring scientist in a to-be-learned field of interest. Proposals therefore have both a research and a professional development component. Investigators may apply at any point in their post-graduate careers.

Who can apply

*PI Limit:The Investigator (the person seeking to learn a new field) should be the PI and the collaborating mentor should be the Co-PI. While it is likely that the investigator will work with more than one person, the proposal should designate one person alone as the Co-PI (mentor).

How to apply

Applications for federal grants are submitted through grants.gov under opportunity number 10-541. Before you start, confirm your organization's eligibility, register in SAM.gov if you haven't already, and note the former response deadline of May 20, 2010.
