[STEM-funding] ODE MSP

[Christopher Andersen]

*1) ODE Mathematics and Science Partnerships (MSP):* The Ohio Department of
Education has announced a *third* competition for the Ohio MSP program.
(This is not the same program as the NSF Mathematics and Science
Partnerships program.) Unfortunately, ODE has switched to a new website, so
the URLs for the RFP and supporting documents have been changed since
yesterday's RFP announcement. In addition, the new website's search
function is not currently working.

The MSP program funds professional development projects for K-12 science
and mathematics teachers. This new competition has a new track ("Option
2"), under which

   - the institution "offer a graduate level program in mathematics or
   science which leads to a master’s degree in science or mathematics."
   - "at least one graduate-level course must be taught at the target
   school, during the course of the school year"
   - "Upon completion of the graduate program of study, teachers should be
   able to teach high school or introductory college courses in math or
   sciences courses"
   - A majority of the funds must be used for scholarship incentives for
   teachers/program enrollees.

Note that this competition has an incredibly fast timeline:

   - The funding period is July 1, 2013–August 15, 2014
   - "submissions will be accepted and considered (as long as funding is
   available) on June 7, 14 and 21, 2013" (i.e., *the first round of
   proposals is due in 9 days.*)
   - All questions about the RFP must be submitted by email by *4pm on May
   31.*
   - The letter of intent to submit a proposal is due *May 31.*
