1) NSF Widening Implementation & Demonstration of Evidence Based Reforms (WIDER): NSF has announced a new funding opportunity (WIDER) for revising undergraduate teaching (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504889). From the program synopsis:

"...WIDER seeks to substantially increase the scale of application of highly effective methods of STEM teaching and learning in institutions of higher education, by employing instructional materials and methods that have a convincing evidentiary basis of effectiveness.  In particular WIDER seeks this transformation for high enrollment, lower division courses required for many STEM majors and taken by many other students to fulfill general education distribution requirements.

Included in our broad definition of effective STEM teaching and learning are not only instructional practices in traditional learning environments, but also modern laboratory methods and field research, proven distance education methods (or hybrid designs incorporating both face-to-face and distance methods), and improved approaches to motivating student interest in STEM."

Proposals are submitted within four tracks: Planning grants ($250,000 over 2 years), Institutional Implementation grants ($2,000,000 over 3 years), Community Implementation grants ($750,000 over three years), and Research projects ($500,000 over 4 years). Proposals are due 7/3/13.

2) NSF Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM): On April 24, NSF will hold an informational webinar about preparing nominations for the PAESMEM (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504887).
