Description: The Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education and Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) program invites proposals that address immediate challenges and opportunities that are facing undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education; as well as those that promote new approaches to using research on STEM learning and education.
The program features two tracks: (1) engaged student learning, and (2) institutional and community transformation. Two tiers of projects exist within each track: (1) exploration and design, and (2) development and implementation.
Proposals should demonstrate the following items:
• Use and build evidence about improved STEM instructional practices.
• Design and study innovative learning opportunities, including cyberlearning.
• Create, implement, and test program, curricular, course, and technology-driven models.
• Develop, implement, and test creative approaches for adoption of education research into disciplinary teachings.
• Develop and validate assessments/metrics for undergraduate STEM learning and instructional practice.
• Conduct fundamental research on issues of undergraduate STEM teaching and learning.
