I am a physics undergraduate student and have a passion for education research. I have spoken to some professors I know that work in that field and have some possible undergraduate research opportunities lined up, but I was wondering if anybody knew of any other undergraduate research opportunities, possibly some REU that is NSF funded. I looked through NSF's list of funded REUs, but didn't find anything in the education field. I also looked into some of the more prominent programs like Harvard's GSE and Berkeley's Education Graduate Program, but to no avail. If anybody knows of a program I should look into, or could maybe point me in a direction to look, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much for your help.

Kansas State has education research as a project option for their physics REU.

I know at my school a lot of that information could be found in old physics journals lying around..Try walking through the physics department and seeing what they have lying around and hanging on walls.
