<p>The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research.
<p>The United States-Japan Foundation supports innovative education projects that help young Americans and Japanese learn about each other’s society, culture, and country as well as learn to work together on issues of common concern.

<p>The James S McDonnell Foundation (JSMF) announces a new program in 2017 that will fund education research on the science of teaching and expand our understanding of teachers as learners and as agents of change in education. The Teachers as Learners (TAL) program will emphasize a cognitive science perspective on teachers as learners – including a focus on the cognitive constraints that guide teacher thinking and change in attitudes, knowledge, skills and behaviors.
<p>The goal of this effort is to catalyze research partnerships that result in rigorously designed studies that could be funded by Evidence for Action (E4A), another Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) program, or other funding source. We are particularly interested in matching organizations that do not have a track record of RWJF funding. To achieve this goal, E4A will support a “matching team” overseen by a grantee organization that meets the eligibility criteria noted below.
<p><span>This competition focuses on engaging communities in conversations about their civic health using participatory research approaches to facilitate civic engagement and strengthen community capacity to address local issues, both of which are central to CNCS’s mission.</span></p>
<p><span>The SEED grant program provides funding to increase the number of highly effective educators by supporting the implementation of evidence-based preparation, development, or enhancement opportunities for educators. The SEED program has compiled a range of resources to help organizations design and implement evaluations that are consistent with the What Works Clearinghouse standards.

<p>This program supports researcher-practitioner partnerships (RPPs) with the goal of building knowledge from research and development to support efforts that aim to provide opportunities for all students to participate in CS and CT formal STEM learning at the elementary, middle, and high school grade levels.
<p>Lumina will accept one proposal per institution. The proposal may reflect efforts across multiple departments or programs. Lumina is compelled to do more in the aftermath of disturbing and unacceptable racially motivated events on college campuses across the nation. The United States’ legacy of racism, segregation, and injustice are ever-present in current discussions about how to advance equity and fairness in policies and practices, and to increase meaningful opportunity for all.
