Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (NSF 23-510) proposals due Jan. 21

• Proposal deadline: Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 5 p.m.

The IUSE: EDU is a core National Science Foundation STEM education program that seeks to promote novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. The program is open to applications from all institutions of higher education and associated organizations.

IUSE: EDU supports projects that seek to bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, that adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices into STEM teaching and learning, laying the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. In addition to innovative work at the frontier of STEM education, this program also encourages replication of research studies at different types of institutions and with different student bodies to produce deeper knowledge about the effectiveness and transferability of findings. The IUSE: EDU program features two tracks: (1) Engaged Student Learning and (2) Institutional and Community Transformation.

Funding amount

• Engaged Student Learning: $400,000
• Institutional and Community Transformation: $200,000 (single-institution)-400,000 (multi-institution)
