 NSF recognizes the need to support development of and research on effective educational approaches that can position the future STEM workforce to make bold advances in these Big Ideas. 

The NSF Education and Human Resources Directorate seeks to invest in projects that can educate the STEM workforce to advance discovery in the six research Big Ideas: 
Harnessing the Data Revolution;
The Future of Work;
Navigating the New Arctic;
Multi-messenger Astrophysics;
The Quantum Leap; and
Understanding the Rules of Life.

In addition to developing and implementing novel educational and/or training programs, these projects should simultaneously generate new knowledge about effective STEM education, by studying such programs and exploring related issues.
