The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering STEM education grants to colleges, universities and other institutions of higher education for programs that provide innovating curriculum designed to engage and educate students. The deadline is already a couple months away!
What:
Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education and Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Grants
Details:
The IUSE: EHR grants are available for programs that:
- Seek to improve student learning in STEM through development of new curricular materials and methods of instruction
- Develop new assessment tools to measure student learning
- Replicate research to produce deeper knowledge about the effectiveness and transferability of findings
- Improves diversity of students and instructors participating in STEM education
- Promote institutional partnerships for collaborative research and development
The IUSE: EHR grant is divided into two types of projects:
- Engaged Student Learning – This track focuses on design, development, and research studies that involve the creation, exploration, or implementation of tools, resources, and models that show particular promise for increasing the engagement of undergraduate students in their STEM learning and lead to measurable and lasting learning gains.
- Institutional and Community Transformation – This track supports projects that use innovative approaches to increase the use of highly effective, evidence-based STEM teaching and learning, curricular, and co-curricular practices in institutions of higher education or across/within disciplinary communities.
Full grant details can be found here.
How Much:
There are two tiers of projects within these two tracks, which can determine the amount of funding available:
Deadline:
Applications for programs that focus on Exploration and Design for either project have no deadline and are accepted year round.
