17 July | Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Directorate for STEM Education (IUSE: EDU)
NSF
The IUSE: EDU is a core NSF STEM education program that seeks to promote novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. IUSE: EDU also seeks to support projects that have high potential for broader societal impacts, including improved diversity of students and instructors participating in STEM education, professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques that meet the changing needs of students, and projects that promote institutional partnerships for collaborative research and development. There are two tracks: Institutional and Community Transformation and Engaged Student Learning; this deadline is for Level 2 proposals in each track.
Additionally, NSF has issued a Dear Colleague Letter for IUSE-AID, which encourages faculty to submit proposals that focus on adaptation, implementation, and/or dissemination of proven teaching strategies and learning materials reflecting advances in undergraduate STEM teaching and learning.
