RFCUNY Brown Bag Research Webinars: NSF Undergraduate Research Programs for CUNY Faculty

Overview: The NSF Directorate for STEM Education supports programs at all educational levels and in a variety of settings. The directorate funds innovative research and evaluation projects across all STEM disciplines and STEM projects — through scholarships, fellowships, centers, alliances, networks, curriculum development and institutional capacity building. It invests in activities aimed to improve knowledge of accessibility, integration, and adaptability in STEM education and beyond — ensuring that STEM education and career opportunities are accessible, inclusive, and equitable for all Americans, including women, minorities, veterans, and persons with disabilities. The NSF Division of Undergraduate Education focuses specifically on undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education programs for all students. These programs are designed to strengthen STEM education at two- and four-year institutions by improving curricula, instruction, infrastructure, assessment, and diversity at these institutions. This webinar will focus on a selected group of grant opportunities that include: the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service program; the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program; the Advanced Technological Education program; the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program; and the Facilitating Research at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions program. Professor Iurov will discuss the development of his proposal for establishing an REU site at Medgar Evers College.
