NSF Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement Program Grants

This program supports activities that help undergraduate faculty members to gain experience with recent advances in their fields, new experimental techniques, and ways of incorporating these into undergraduate instruction. The program also serves as a vehicle for dissemination and adaptation of model courses and materials developed under DUE's programs in curriculum and laboratory improvement. Projects are regional or national in scope and typically consist of hands-on short courses or workshops and follow-up activities that encourage sustained interaction among participants. A major component of the program is support of regional coalitions of two- and four-year institutions for the purpose of faculty enhancement. Enhancement activities for faculty members who teach in advanced technological education programs and for those who teach mathematics and science to future teachers are especially encouraged. Refer to brochure NSF 99-53 for program announcement.

Requirements: Proposals will be accepted from any organization with the scientific expertise and facilities to conduct the described activities. Proposals may be submitted for support in any of the fields of science, engineering, and mathematics normally supported by NSF.

Date(s) Application Is Due: June 9. Receipt of application satisfies deadline date requirements.
