 Dear Colleague:



Are you interested in giving your faculty a competitive edge in writing
proposals for educational research and development projects supported by
the new National Science Foundation (NSF) Program Description PD14-7513
titled Improving Undergraduate STEM Education
(IUSE)<http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504976&org=EHR&from=home>
. Then you will want to make arrangements for them to participate as a
group in one or more of the 10 upcoming NSF sponsored Interactive Web-based
Workshops (IWBWs) all of which will be presented by former NSF Program
Directors in the Division of Undergraduate Education.



The Virtual Faculty Collaborative (AAAS, Louisiana State University, and
Higher Education Services) is offering a series of Interactive Web-Based
Workshops (IWBWs) on topics that are important in preparing proposals and
in implementing funded undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) education projects. This project is funded by the
National Science Foundation (NSF), through a grant from the Division of
Undergraduate Education (DUE).



*Workshop Topics *



Individual workshops, which will last for two hours, will focus on:

·        Incorporating effective strategies into an educational proposal

·        Defining project goals, objectives, and evaluation questions

·        Working with an evaluator to develop a project evaluation plan

·        Addressing NSF’s broader impacts expectations in a project

·        Designing a project for impact and transportability



*Workshop Format*



These workshops are intended for all STEM faculty members who are planning
NSF educational proposals or already have a funded project.  They are
designed to engage local groups of participants in discussions of issues
related to the workshop topic that will enable local sites to interact with
the entire virtual group, and to be provided with information and insights
on each of these discussion items by workshop presenters.



Because of this distributed organization, only groups of STEM faculty at a
site may participate and each group must have a local facilitator who will
work with the presenters to organize the local activities and interact with
the Presenter in coordinating the workshop presentation. Those interested
in serving as a facilitator must submit an application for each IWBW they
wish to hold at their site. More information on facilitating an IWBW and on
the application process is provided at
FACILITATORS<http://ehrweb01.aaas.org/stem-iwbw/facilitators/>link.



*Workshop Schedule*



Each IWBW will be offered twice between January 6 through 17, 2014. The
workshop sessions are scheduled Monday through Friday at 2:00-4:00 (EST).
Additional information about the IWBW content, schedule, and presenters is
available at the WORKSHOP <http://ehrweb01.aaas.org/stem-iwbw/workshops/>link*.
Please note that registration for a given session will be closed five days
prior to the date of the session.*



*Registration*

Sincerely,

IWBWs Leadership Team <http://ehrweb01.aaas.org/stem-iwbw/leadership-team/>
