[STEM-funding] NSF CAREER workshop; US ED IES; NSF RDE webinar

[Christopher Andersen]

*1) **NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award
Outreach/Education/Diversity Workshop*: Ohio State faculty considering
submitting proposals for the NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award are
invited to attend a session from 9:30-11:00 a.m. Thursday (4/19) in 4138
Physics Research Building. The workshop will focus on the
outreach/education/diversity portion of the CAREER proposal and will
include presentations by COSI, the Metro School, the University Center for
Advancement of Teaching (UCAT), and the Summer Research Opportunities
Program (SROP) about how they collaborate with prospective CAREER
applicants on outreach to schools and the public, development of courses,
and recruitment of students from underrepresented groups.

*2) US ED IES: *The US Department of Education's Institute for Education
Sciences has announced its FY 2013 Research and Research Training funding
opportunities (http://ies.ed.gov/funding/) The "long-term programs of
research" for the Education Research Grants Programs:

Mathematics and Science Education
Cognition and Student Learning
Social and Behavioral Context for Academic Learning
Education Technology
Effective Teachers and Effective Teaching
Improving Education Systems: Policies, Organization, Management, and
Leadership
Postsecondary and Adult Education
Early Learning Programs and Policies
English Learners
The first competition will have letters of intent due April 19 and full
proposals due June 21; the second competition will have letters of intent
due July 19 and full proposals due September 20.

*3) NSF Research in Disabilities Education (RDE) webinars: *The National
Science Foundation has scheduled three webinars about the RDE solicitation
(see bottom of this message):

March 16, 2012 – 9:30 to 10:30 AM
March 19, 2012 – 4:00 to 5:00 PM

> educational, disability, and social science research.

> *RDE-Broadening Participation Research in STEM Education** (RDE-BPR)* -
> These projects to investigate the underlying issues affecting the
> differential learning, participation, retention and graduation rates of
> postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM. Proposed research may
> investigate learning and educational influences as well as organizational,
> institutional or systemic processes that broaden the participation of
> postsecondary students with disabilities in STEM. Disability should be the
> main focus of the research and analysis, with race, ethnicity, gender,
> economic status, and/or veteran status as potential secondary foci.
> Projects catalyze the acquisition of knowledge that may inform
> interventions impacting learning, persistence, and graduation in STEM for
> postsecondary students with disabilities under certain conditions and in
> specific educational contexts. BPR can also be found in other solicitations
> in the Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings
> (DRL) and in the Division of Human Resource Development (HRD). DRL's
> Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE)
> solicitation has a strand called BPR that converges with elements of the
> Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE) and RDE solicitations;
> the new BPR strand is jointly managed by DRL and HRD with coordination by
> the RDE, GSE and REESE programs.
> Funding varies by type of proposal and level:
> *RDE-MB Level 1* (Designing, developing and testing models): up to
> $800,000 over 48 months
> *RDE-MB Level 2* (Replicating, translating and implementing models): up
> to $1,000,000 over 48 months
> *RDE-BPR Level 1* (Fundamental learning and educational research,
> early-stage studies, and design and development research): up to $500,000
> over 36 months
> *RDE-BPR Level 2* (Efficacy and replication research to inform learning
> and educational theory, and advance postsecondary STEM learning and
> education for students with disabilities): up to $600,000 over 48 months
>
> All proposals are due June 1.
