Core Grants will be
awards to institutions to develop effective ways to enhance the success
of all students. Core Grants will provide funding in four components:
student research, faculty development, curriculum development and
outreach and transitions. Core Grants will be awarded up to $2.2 million
over four years. The program objectives for the 2010 grant program
include:
* integrate research and teaching in undergraduate education
* engage students in inquiry-based science
* prepare undergradatues, including women and members of minority
groups underrepresented in the sciences, for graduate studies and
careers in biomedical research, medicine and science education
* promote science literacy among all students
* support new and high-quality approaches and techniques in science
teaching
* enhance precollege education by connecting university science
departments with education majors, preK-12 teachers, students and
schools
* provide substantive teaching and mentoring experiences to prepare
postdoctoral fellows and graduate students for future roles as
educators
Additional funding will be available through Experiment Grants. These
grants will encourage science faculty to try innovative ideas in science
education. Experiment grants will be funded up to $600,000 over four
years. All Experiment grants must be linked to a Core Grant.
Note: UW-Madison is limited to one proposal. Notices of intent are due in Bascom Hall by Wednesday, May 13, 2009.
