STEM Education Research Stakeholder Needs Survey - June 2025 |
Survey Title:
STEM Education Research Stakeholder Needs Survey
Purpose of the Study:
You are invited to participate in a research study conducted by AUI’s Office of Education and Public Engagement. Given the current uncertainty related to federal funding of STEM programs, we are interested in understanding the current challenges, needs, and priorities of individuals and institutions involved in STEM education research, implementation, and policy. We are particularly interested in gathering insights from those at smaller or under-resourced institutions.
