Budgets can be between $100,000-$1,000,000 over up to 5 years.</p><p>3) The revised <b>NSF Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL)</b> solicitation has been released (<a href="http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504793">http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504793</a>). The program synopsis:</p>
<p style="margin-left:40px">The Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program seeks to advance new approaches to and evidence-based understanding of the design and development of STEM learning in informal environments; provide multiple pathways for broadening access to and engagement in STEM learning experiences; advance innovative research on and assessment of STEM learning in informal environments; and develop understandings of deeper learning by participants. <br>
</p><p style="margin-left:40px">The AISL program supports six types of projects: (1) Pathways, (2) Research in Service to Practice, (3) Innovations in Development, (4) Broad Implementation, (5) Conferences, Symposia, and Workshops, and (6) Science Learning+ Proposals.</p>
<p>Proposals to Science Learning+ are due July 10; other proposal types are due November 14. Budget amounts vary by type of proposal:</p><div style="margin-left:40px">(1) Pathways projects: up to $300,000 with duration up to two years; <br>
(2) Research in Service to Practice projects: from $300,000 to $2,000,000 with a duration from two to five years; <br>(3) Innovations in Development projects: $500,000 to $3,000,000 with duration up to five years; <br>(4) Broad Implementation projects from $500,000 to $3,000,000 with a duration from two to five years; <br>
(5) Conferences, Symposia, and Workshops projects up to $250,000 with a duration of up to two years;<br>(6) Science Learning+ Planning projects up to $115,000 for a duration of one year in 2015, and Partnership projects up to $2.4 million with a duration of up to five years in 2016. <br>
</div><p>4) The new <b>National Science Foundation Research Traineeship Program (NRT)</b> focuses on graduate student training (<a href="http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505015">http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505015</a>). From the program synopsis:<br>
</p><p style="margin-left:40px">The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program is designed to encourage the development of bold, new, potentially transformative, and scalable models for STEM graduate training that ensure that graduate students develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers. The NRT program initially has one priority research theme - Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (DESE); in addition, proposals are encouraged on any other crosscutting, interdisciplinary theme...NRT projects should develop evidence-based, sustainable approaches and practices that substantially improve STEM graduate education for NRT trainees and for STEM graduate students broadly at an institution. NRT emphasizes the development of competencies for both research and research-related careers...Creation of sustainable programmatic capacity at institutions is an expected outcome. Proposals accordingly are expected to describe how institutions will support the continuation and institutional-level scaling of effective training elements after award closure. </p>
<p>Institutions are limited to 2 proposals, and the deadline for Ohio State's internal competition is April 28. Letters of intent are due to NSF May 20 and full proposals are due June 24. Budgets can be up to $3,000,000 over five years.<br>
