[STEM-funding] NSF REE; NSF IUSE proposal preparation workshops

Wed Dec 18 09:24:37 EST 2013

*1) NSF Research in Engineering Education (REE):* The National Science
Foundation has announced the next set of proposal deadlines for its REE
program: January 23 and September 18, 2014.

*2) NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education workshops:* AAAS will be
offering a series of web-based workshops to assist prospective PIs who are
applying for NSF's new IUSE program (
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504976). The workshop
topics are described in the email below.

AAAS intends have one viewing site per campus, and during the week of
January 6, Ohio State will have a viewing site in the Physics Research
Building (M, Th, F) and Scott Lab (T, W). The AAAS web-based workshops
themselves run from 2:00–4:00 pm; in addition, Ohio State will meet a half
hour before and after (i.e., 1:30–4:30 pm) with research administrators,
former NSF program directors, and others available to address questions
from the Ohio State audience.

For more information and to register to attend one of the workshops at Ohio
State, visit http://go.osu.edu/IUSE
