*1) NSF Promoting Research and Innovation in Methodologies for Evaluation
(PRIME):* The National Science Foundation has released a revised
solicitation for its PRIME program (
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504995). From the program
synopsis:

The Promoting Research and Innovation in Methodologies for Evaluation
(PRIME) program seeks to support research on evaluation with special
emphasis on: (1) exploring innovative approaches for determining the
impacts and usefulness of STEM education projects and programs; (2)
building on and expanding the theoretical foundations for evaluating STEM
education and workforce development initiatives, including translating and
adapting approaches from other fields; and (3) growing the capacity and
infrastructure of the evaluation field. Three types of proposals will be
supported by the program: Exploratory Projects that include
proof-of-concept and feasibility studies; more extensive Full-Scale
Projects; and workshops and conferences.

Proposals are due February 21, 2014. Exploratory Projects can be up to
$250,000 over 2 years, and Full-Scale Projects can be up to $800,000 over 3
years.
