Elizabeth Stewart here, adding to Sandra's list of resources. I had the good fortune to be able to join the March 21st webinar about NSF Dear Colleague Letters (DCLs), hosted by Rachel Bower and attended by many program officers, including Celeste Carter, Lead Program Director, Advanced Technological Education (ATE). I learned a great deal about DCLs and in particular I learned that program officers are... Read more

Did you know that the National Science Foundation has a program that offers funding for Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ( S-STEM )?

The main goal of the S-STEM program is to enable low-income, talented domestic undergraduate and graduate students to pursue successful careers in promising STEM areas of strategic national need. Ultimately, the S-STEM program wants to increase the number of low-income students who graduate and contribute to the American innovation economy with their STEM knowledge.

Fantastic new opportunity! Please consider submitting proposals to this program as you think about how the V & C movement has impacted biology education at community colleges. And share with your colleagues at 2 year, 4 year, and R1 institutes.

The National Science Foundation's (NSF's) Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) acknowledges the need to expand and chronicle educational change efforts across the nation. To this end, DUE invites proposals to study the impact of the Vision and Change (V&C) movement in Undergraduate Biology Education. Specifically, this program seeks to support... Read more

Are the faculty at your college interested in learning more about applying for TUES grants from the National Science Foundation?

If so, find someone to be a faculty facilitator, and your college can participate in a series of interactive, web-based, workshops from the Virtual Faculty Colalborative (AAAS, Louisiana State University, and Higher Education Services).

The workshops will run from March through May 1, 2013.

More information is available at the STEM-IWBW web site .

The workshops will last for two hours and will focus on:
