Research and Evaluation Program Synopsis:
OJJDP’s Field-Initiated Research and
Evaluation (FIRE) program supports methodologically rigorous research and
evaluation studies that inform policy and practice consistent with the
Department of Justice’s mission. OJJDP is focusing this year’s FIRE program
solicitation on funding studies of school-based practices, environment, and
achievement that relate to reducing student victimization and the risk of
delinquency. The goal of this year’s FIRE program is to foster new and ongoing
rigorous, scientific research and evaluation that has practical applications for
the development of effective school programs, policies, and strategies that will
foster positive youth development and reduce the risk of victimization and
delinquency.
Deadline: May 7, 2012

NSF Cyberlearning: Transforming Education
Due: Letter of Intent due May 14, 2012
URL: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2011/nsf11587/nsf11587.htm
Synopsis
Through the Cyberlearning: Transforming Education program, NSF seeks to integrate advances in technology with advances in what is known about how people learn to
better understand how people learn with technology and how technology can
be used productively to help people learn, through individual use and/or through
collaborations mediated by technology;
better use technology for collecting, analyzing, sharing, and managing data to shed light on learning, promoting learning, and designing learning environments; and
design new technologies for these purposes, and advance understanding of how to use those technologies and integrate them into learning environments so that their potential is fulfilled.
Of particular interest are technological advances that allow more personalized learning experiences, draw in and promote learning among those in populations not served well by current educational practices, allow access to learning resources anytime and anywhere, and provide new ways of assessing capabilities. It is expected that Cyberlearning research will shed light on how technology can enable new forms of educational practice and that broad implementation of its findings will result in a more actively-engaged and productive citizenry and workforce.

for all undergraduate students. This solicitation especially encourages projects
that have the potential to transform undergraduate STEM education, for example,
by bringing about widespread adoption of classroom practices that embody
understanding of how students learn most effectively. Thus transferability and
dissemination are critical aspects for projects developing instructional
materials and methods and should be considered throughout the project's

Targeted Partnerships
The Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program is a major research and development effort
that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student achievement in mathematics
and science. MSP projects are expected to raise the achievement levels of all students and
significantly reduce achievement gaps in the STEM performance of diverse student populations.
MSP projects contribute to what is known in K-12 STEM education. All STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields supported by NSF may be involved in this
work, with special encouragement to areas that are gaining increased traction at the K-12 level,
such as computer science and engineering, in addition to mathematics and science. MSP projects
also serve as models that have a sufficiently strong evidence/research base to improve STEM
education outcomes for all students.
Through this solicitation, NSF seeks to support two levels of Targeted Partnership awards,
Implementation and Prototype. Implementation awards are intended to develop and put into
practice innovative approaches and strategies in education. Prototype awards explore potentially
innovative approaches and strategies in education. Both types of Partnerships incorporate
significant new innovations to STEM education, linked to a strong educational research agenda,
in one of four focal areas: Community Enterprise for STEM Learning; Current Issues Related
to STEM Content; Identifying and Cultivating Exceptional Talent; and K-12 STEM Teacher
Preparation. In addition, there are three types of Research, Evaluation and Technical Assistance
(RETA) project opportunities
