THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: STEM/Computing Education, Higher Education, Education Improvement/Reform
Deadline: May 30, 2024
“The Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Computing in Undergraduate Education (IUSE: CUE) program aims to better prepare a wider, more diverse range of students to collaboratively use computation across a range of contexts and challenging problems. With this solicitation, the National Science Foundation focuses on re-envisioning how to teach computing effectively to a broad group of students, in a scalable manner, with an emphasis on broadening participation of groups who are underrepresented and underserved by traditional computing courses and careers.
Proposals will be funded across three tracks that focus on evidence-based transformative efforts to modernize computing courses and accelerate student success in the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of current and emerging industries, and/or explore effective pathways to computing degrees and careers that involve two-year colleges and industry partnerships.
- The Transformation track focuses on addressing one or more key challenges in transforming undergraduate computing education through innovative programs.
- The Pathways track considers the multiple entry and exit points through two-year colleges as part of effective pathways to computing degrees and/or careers.
- The Mobilizing track aims to develop a shared national vision around innovation and inclusion in undergraduate computing education.”
