National Science Foundation’s Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education and Human Resources (IUSE:EHR).
|
The IUSE:EHR program invites proposals that address immediate challenges and opportunities facing undergraduate STEM education and those that anticipate new structures and new functions of the undergraduate learning and teaching enterprise. | http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505082 |
National Science Foundation’s Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Pathways into Geoscience (IUSE:GEOPATHS).
|
The IUSE:GEOPATHS program invites proposals that specifically address the current needs and opportunities related to undergraduate education within the geosciences community. The primary goal of this funding opportunity is to increase the number of undergraduate students interested in pursuing undergraduate and/or postgraduate degrees in geoscience through the design and testing of novel approaches for engaging students in authentic, career-relevant experiences in geoscience. | https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505169 |
National Science Foundation’s Research Traineeship Program (NRT-IGE track)
|
The IGE track of the NRT focuses on test-bed projects aimed at piloting, testing, and validating innovative and potentially transformative approaches to graduate education. This track supports testing of novel models or activities with high potential to enrich and extend the knowledge base on effective graduate education approaches. | http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505015 |
