NSF Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (TUES) Program Web Conference - April 22
On April 22, 2010, the Proposal Development Office will be hosting a web conference from the Grants Resource Center on the National Science Foundation's new Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (TUES) program which replaces the popular Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) program. This session will provide a detailed description of the new solicitation--including its increased emphasis on transformation, transferability, and dissemination--to help universities prepare for the May 26 deadline for Phase I applications. Agency, reviewer, and awardee perspectives will be shared. The presenters will be Nicole Bennett, Associate Professor of Chemistry, Appalachian State University; Mel Druelinger, Dean of Graduate Studies and Research and Director of Research and Sponsored Programs, Colorado State University-Pueblo; and Russell Pimmel, Program Director, Division of Undergraduate Education, National Science Foundation.
The site of the web conference is room 103 Main Building and will run from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. Registration is required as seating is limited. Register by noon on April 20 on the PDO website: http://www.research.uky.edu/pdo/workshop_information/workshop_calendar.htm.

NSF Math and Science Partnership (MSP)
Because UK’s Appalachian Math Science Partnership is applying for a Phase II Partnership, UK will not hold an internal competition for the Targeted, Institute, MSP-Start, or Phase II Partnership Programs. (There is no limit to the number of proposals that can be submitted to the Research, Evaluation and Technical Assistance (RETA) Projects Program.)
The Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program is a major research and development effort that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student achievement in mathematics and science. MSP projects are expected to raise the achievement levels of all students and significantly reduce achievement gaps in the mathematics and science performance of diverse student populations. In order to improve the mathematics and science achievement of the nation's students, MSP projects contribute to what is known in mathematics and science education and serve as models that have a sufficiently strong evidence/research base to improve the mathematics and science education outcomes for all students. NSF's MSP program coordinates its effort with programs of the U.S. Department of Education in the expectation that effective innovations in mathematics and science education will be disseminated into wider practice.
Through this solicitation, NSF seeks to support five types of awards:
- Targeted Partnerships focus on studying and solving teaching and learning issues within a specific grade range or at a critical juncture in education, and/or within a specific disciplinary focus in mathematics or the sciences;
- Institute Partnerships - Teacher Institutes for the 21st Century focus on meeting national needs for teacher leaders/master teachers who have deep knowledge of disciplinary content for teaching and are fully prepared to be school- or district-based intellectual leaders in mathematics or the sciences;
- MSP-Start Partnerships are for awardees new to the MSP program, especially from minority-serving institutions, community colleges and primarily undergraduate institutions, to support the necessary data analysis, project design, evaluation and team building activities needed to develop a full MSP Targeted or Institute Partnership;
- Phase II Partnerships are for prior NSF MSP Partnership awardees to continue implementation on specific innovative areas of their work where evidence of the potential for significant positive impact is clearly documented. The intent is that there will be focused efforts to carry out the necessary research to advance knowledge and understanding in the specific area(s); and
- Research, Evaluation and Technical Assistance (RETA) projects (a) study the relationships among MSP activities and student learning using theoretically informed, methodologically rigorous methods; (b) develop and validate instruments of teacher or student knowledge that MSPs and others can use to assess the impact of their work, or (c) provide technical assistance to MSP projects to help them rigorously evaluate their work.
Closing Date: July 08, 2010: Institute Partnerships, MSP-Start Partnerships, Phase II Partnerships, RETA Projects
October 14, 2010: Targeted Partnerships
