 *1) ODE Mathematics and Science Partnership (MSP):* The Ohio Department of
Education MSP funds partnerships between high-need schools, STEM faculty,
and others for projects that increase the subject matter content of
mathematics and science teachers. The new RFP has three types of programs (
http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Finance-and-Funding/Grants/Competitive-Grants/Ohio-Mathematics-and-Science-Partnership-MSP-Pro).
>From the ODE MSP website:

   - *Theory building* programs are smaller programs. Generally these
   programs will include a partnership between 1 IHE’s STEM Department and 1
   to 5 HNLEA. The maximum annually funding for these programs is $250,000
   annually (approximately $3,500.00 per teacher).
   - *Theory testing* programs test theories, State of Ohio developed
   curricular materials, and/or rampant up of a successful OMSP program. These
   programs will include a partnership between 1 IHE’s STEM Department and 10
   or more HNLEAs. The maximum funding for these programs is $500,000
   (approximately $4,500.00 per teacher) annually.
   - *Masters in Mathematics or Science Content *programs provide advanced
   science or mathematics courses to secondary science teachers that culminate
   in a Master’s degree in Mathematics, Biology, Physical Geology, Ecology, or
   Physics. For a teacher who already has a Master’s degree the program will
   provide 18 hours of content courses at the Masters level in Mathematics,
   Biology, Physical Geology, Ecology or Physics from the College of Arts and
   Science. The maximum funding for these programs is $500,000 (approximately
   $11,000 per teacher) annually.

Grants are for two years. Proposals are due May 15.

*2) The NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER)* funds
"junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through
outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education
and research within the context of the mission of their organizations." The
new CAREER solicitation announces the due dates for 2015 (
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214):

BIO, CISE, EHR:  July 21, 2015
ENG:  July 22, 2015
GEO, MPS, SBE:  July 23, 2015

Budget minimums are $400,000 ($500,000 for BIO, ENG, and PLR) over 5 years.
STEM Initiatives has several offerings to help Ohio State faculty prepare
CAREER proposals:

*March 10:* A panel discussion
<https://steminitiatives.osu.edu/events/nsf-faculty-early-career-development-career-award-panel-discussion-0>
with recent Ohio State faculty members who have received NSF CAREER awards
and former NSF program directors. A videorecording will be available soon.
*March 24:* "How to Write a Winning NSF CAREER Proposal
<http://steminitiatives.osu.edu/events/how-write-winning-nsf-career-proposal>"
webinar
*April 1:* A workshop
<http://steminitiatives.osu.edu/events/developing-your-nsf-career-integrated-researcheducation-plan>
focusing on the outreach/education/diversity portion of NSF CAREER proposals

*3**) NSF Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and
Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM): *The National Science Foundation has
released a revised solicitation for the PAESMEM program (
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5473). From the program
solicitation:

PAESMEM recognizes individuals for their mentoring of persons from
underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, women, persons with
disabilities, and persons from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.
Historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields include
African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders,
Native Hawaiians, and Alaska Natives. Students, teachers, early career
scientists, engineers, and/or other STEM/STEM-related professionals are
eligible mentees.

Nominations are due June 19. Frequently Asked Questions are available at
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2014/nsf14092/nsf14092.jsp
