Supplement Opportunity: Supporting Knowledge Mobilization for PreK-12 and Informal STEM Learning and Teaching
Read about the original call for submissions to programs within the Directorate for STEM Education’s (EDU) Division of Research on Learning in Informal and Formal Settings (DRL) here.
Supplemental funding requests should follow the technical guidance provided below and must be submitted via Research.gov. If submitting a supplemental funding request, the original award must be in one of the above four programs. Supplemental funding requests should not exceed 20% of the original award size or $200,000, whichever is smaller. Funded supplements will provide support for periods of up to two years. Supplemental funding requests should be submitted to the original program associated with the active research award. If the original award expires within a year after the start date of the proposed supplemental activity, the principal investigator should provide this information at the time of submission to DRLknowledge@nsf.gov and the cognizant program officer for the original award.
Each supplemental funding request must follow the guidance specified in Chapter VI.E.5 of the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and must address the following areas in no more than five pages:
- Summary of the active award, including original research vision, goals, activities, and accomplishments, spanning Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts;
- Compelling summary of the proposed work;
- Justification for the proposed supplemental work;
- Work plan describing the supplemental activities, along with the related goals, milestones, and predicted outcomes;
- A plan to assess the processes and outcomes of the proposed supplemental activities.
Supplemental funding requests should be submitted by Thursday, June 8, 2023. After the submission of the supplemental funding request, PIs should alert the cognizant program officers by sending an email with the proposal number assigned to the submission of the supplemental request. Supplemental funding requests submitted in response to this DCL will be subject to internal NSF review only, unless they require external review as mandated by the PAPPG.
