Description

The National Science Foundation is offering a grant opportunity titled "IUSE/Professional Formation of Engineers: Revolutionizing Engineering Departments". This grant aims to build upon previous efforts in engineering education research and improve the undergraduate engineering experience. The grant supports projects that focus on organizational and cultural change within engineering departments, involving students, faculty, staff, and industry. The grant offers four tracks: RED Planning, RED Adaptation and Implementation, RED Innovation, and RED Innovation Partnerships. These tracks aim to develop new approaches, implement evidence-based strategies, and create partnerships to transform undergraduate engineering education. The grant encourages proposals that address areas of national interest such as advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, sustainability, and quantum engineering. Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) and other eligible applicants may submit proposals. The grant has a closing date of September 10, 2024. For more information, visit the NSF Publication 24-564 at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf24564.

Research in the Formation of Engineers
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has posted a grant opportunity titled "Research in the Formation of Engineers". This grant aims to advance our understanding of professional formation in the engineering field. Professional formation refers to the processes and value systems by which individuals become engineers and includes the development of technical and professional skills, knowledge, and abilities. The NSF is seeking proposals in two categories: Research Projects and Design and Development Projects. Research Projects should address fundamental questions of professional formation, while Design and Development Projects should provide new approaches to achieving professional formation. The NSF encourages projects that address lifelong learning by the engineering workforce, culture change in engineering education, engineering formation at different education levels, the relationship between engineering and the public, and the impact of new technologies on engineering education. Proposals should have clear research questions and design, and should demonstrate how the research results will be translated into practice. The NSF will evaluate proposals based on their impact and cost. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching.

IUSE: Innovation in Two-Year College STEM Education
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "IUSE: Innovation in Two-Year College STEM Education". This grant aims to improve undergraduate STEM education at two-year colleges by investing in projects that contribute to student success in STEM-based foundational courses and academic pathways. The grant supports projects in any discipline currently supported by NSF funding, including social, behavioral, and economic sciences. The ITYC program features two tracks: (1) A Focus on the Academic Experiences of Two-Year College Students and (2) Leveraging Institutional Strengths and Innovation. Each track can support projects requesting up to $500,000 for a duration of up to three years. For institutions that have not received NSF funding in the past five years, an additional $100,000 may be added to the budget, resulting in a total maximum budget of $600,000 for a project over four years. The grant is open to two-year colleges that offer undergraduate educational degree programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Baccalaureate, Master's, and Doctoral institutions, as well as professional organizations, may partner with a two-year college as a subaward or collaborator. The deadline for proposal submission is December 11, 2024. For more information, please visit the NSF Publication 23-584 at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf23584.
Engineering Research Initiation
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Engineering Research Initiation" for the purpose of building engineering research capacity across the nation. This program aims to support new academic investigators who have not yet received sufficient research funding from Federal Agencies. The grant is specifically targeted towards investigators who are not affiliated with "very high research activity" R1 institutions, according to the Carnegie Classification. The funding will be used to support these investigators as they initiate their research programs and advance in their careers as researchers, educators, and innovators. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The total program funding is estimated to be $11,000,000, with an award floor of $200,000. The grant opportunity is open to institutions of higher education (IHEs) that are not currently classified as a Doctoral University with "Very High Research Activity" (R1 institutions) according to the 2021 Carnegie Classification. The participation of non-R1 institutions from diverse talent in STEM, including historically under-represented or under-served populations, is encouraged. The Principal Investigator (PI) of the proposal must hold a doctoral degree in a field supported by NSF and must hold an appointment at an ERI-eligible institution. The PI must not have been a PI or Co-PI on any current or prior awarded NSF research grant or have had research support from any other Federal Agency totaling $200,000 or more within the past five calendar years. The deadline for proposal submission is October 9, 2024. For more information and to submit a proposal, visit the NSF website at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf24590.
