Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (TUES)
Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI)
Program Solicitation NSF 10-544
TUES
VisionExcellent STEM education for all undergraduate students
GoalStimulate, disseminate, and institutionalize innovative developments in STEM education through the production of knowledge and the improvement of practice.
* Our broadest, most innovative program
TUES: Over time, we have increased our emphasis on
Building on and contributing to the literature on effective STEM education
Building a community of scholars in STEM education reform
Identifying project-specific measurable outcomes *Project management and evaluation
TUES: Project TypesType 1
$200,000 duration: 2 to 3 years
(+ $50,000 with community college partner)
Type 2$600,000 duration: 2 to 4
years
Type 3up to $5,000,000 duration: 3 to 5 yrs
Central Resource Projectsup to $3,000,000 duration: negotiable
TUES must focus on one or more of the following project components.
Creating Learning Materials and Strategies
Implementing New Instructional Strategies
Developing Faculty Expertise
Assessing and Evaluating Student Achievement
Conducting Research on Undergraduate STEM Education
TUES: Deadlines
Deadline For Type 1- May 26 & 27, 2011
Deadline For Type 2/3 and Central Resource Projects - January 14, 2011
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
Talent Expansion Program
(STEP)
PROGRAM SOLICITATION NSF 08-569
STEP - Basic Goals
Increase the number of students (US Citizens or permanent residents) in STEM
Increase associate’s / bachelor’s degrees- Established or emerging STEM
fields
Community colleges get credit for transfers to
4-year STEM programs
Note: Increases in a particular field must not be at the expense of other fields!
STEP: Successful projects might provide
Bridge programs that enable additional preparation for students from HS or community colleges
Programs to improve the quality of student learning
- Peer tutoring, learning communities, etc.- New pedagogical approaches (mastery learning, active learning, etc.)
Programs to encourage undergraduate researchStudent support mechanisms
STEPMaximum Support Levels – Enrollment based
$500 K for 5 years for 1- 5,000 undergrads $1.0 M for 5 years for 5,001-15,000 undergrads$2.0 M for 5 years for >15,000 undergrads
One proposal per institution (can be a partner on only one proposal)
STEP Budget$28-30 million expected for FY 201120-24 awards expected
Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics
(S-STEM)
Program Solicitation NSF 09-567
S-STEM
Goal: Provides funds to institutions to provide scholarships to academically talented, but financially needy, students
- Students can be pursuing associate, bachelor’s, or graduate degrees
- Scholarships can be up to $10,000/yr - up to 4 yrs within the limits of students official level of need. (They can be less than $10K and less than 4 yrs)
S-STEM: Major features of program
Most STEM disciplines are eligible - except Social & Behavioral sciences
Grant size: max $600,000 (up to 5% of the scholarship request can be spent for administrative costs and up to 10% for student support services)
One proposal per constituent school or college that awards STEM degrees (e.g., school of engineering, college of arts & sciences)Estimated $50 to $70 million available in 2011
S-STEM: Deadlines
Optional Letter of Intent Deadline Date: July 13, 2011
Proposal Deadline: August 11, 2011
