Number: 09-528 Title: CISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education Brief
Description: Computing has permeated and transformed almost
all aspects of modern life. As computing becomes more important
in all sectors of society, so does the preparation of a globally
competitive U.S. workforce able to apply core computing concepts,
methods, technologies, and tools - referred to here as Computational
Thinking (CT) - to a broad range of societal challenges and opportunities.
CT capitalizes on concepts, methods, technologies, and tools fundamental
to the fields of computing, i.e. computer and information science
and engineering. For example, computing concepts and methods equip
us to reason at multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously, to
think algorithmically and apply foundational mathematical concepts
to solve complex problems, and to understand the dimensions and
consequences of scale. However, it is only when computing concepts
and methods are combined with the power of automation afforded by
contemporary computing technologies and tools that the full potential
of CT is unleashed. Drawing deeply on computational concepts, methods,
technologies and tools, CT serves as a powerful strategy to more
effectively design, understand and solve problems associated with
complex systems in many aspects of modern life. The CISE Pathways
to Revitalized Undergraduate Education in Computing (CPATH) program
recognizes the growing importance of CT in society. The goals of
the program are to:contribute to the development of a globally competitive
U.S. workforce with CT competencies essential to U.S. leadership
in the global innovation enterprise;increase the number of students
developing CT competencies by infusing CT learning opportunities
into undergraduate education in the core computing fields - computer
and information science and engineering, and in other fields of
study; and,demonstrate transformative CT-focused undergraduate education
models that are replicable across a variety of institutions.Through
the CPATH program, CISE challenges the academic community to identify
and define the core computing concepts, methods, technologies and
tools to be integrated into promising new undergraduate education
models, and to demonstrate effective strategies to develop and assess
CT competencies in the relevant learning communities. While aimed
primarily at revitalizing undergraduate education, CISE encourages
the exploration of new models that extend from institutions of higher
education into the K-12 environment; activities that engage K-12
teachers and students to facilitate the seamless transition of secondary
students into CT-focused undergraduate programs are particularly
encouraged. Successful CPATH proposals will include administrators,
researchers, educators and students in institutions of higher education.
Further, the engagement of stakeholders in other types of organizations
including, but not limited to, K-12 schools and school districts,
industry, and professional societies is also encouraged. Every CPATH
proposal must demonstrate the engagement of faculty with expertise
in the core computer and information science and engineering (CISE)
disciplines. The CPATH program seeks proposals in two size classes:
Class I projects with project budgets totaling no more than $300,000
for 1-, 2- or 3-year durations; and, Class II projects with project
budgets totaling no more than $800,000 each for 2- or 3-year durations.

NASA EPSCoR Request for Pre-proposals: LOUISIANA EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM
TO Each of twenty-five EPSCoR jurisdictions are expected to be eligible to submit a statewide package (most likely consisting of two to four proposals) for consideration; Louisiana's will be submitted by the Board of Regents (BOR). This solicitation seeks pre-proposals which will be reviewed by an external panel. The panel will recommend the 2-4 most meritorious pre-proposals, which will then be further developed and included as the component proposals in the statewide proposal package. NASA intended to issue the FY2009 CAN in mid-November, with the statewide proposal package due ninety days after issuance (i.e., on or about February 15, 2009). Past experience has indicated that NASA may adhere to that due date even if the CAN is issued in December. For the purposes of this RFP, it is assumed that the proposal package due date will fall sometime between February 15 - March 1, 2009. Therefore, in order to allow as much time as possible for proposers to prepare applications and for the BoR's subsequent review process, this RFP has been issued with a timeline for proposal submission that, while compressed, will allow the State's researchers as much time as possible to respond to the NASA CAN. Proposers should be aware that NASA's issuance of the CAN is not guaranteed. The BOR reserves the right to make adjustments to the timeline and other changes to the requirements contained in this RFP as needed to accommodate the instructions contained in the FY2009 CAN. Under the last competition, NASA awarded twenty-three (23) research projects (two to Louisiana) with funding of up to $750,000 for a three-year period of performance. Proposed Funding: N/A Agency

Number: 05-524 Department/Area: College of Education and College of Sciences Title: Research Experience for Teachers (RET): Supplement to Current NSF Awards Brief Description: Dear Colleague: This letter is to call your attention to a new activity that will support active participation by K-12 teachers of science in projects funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences at the National Science Foundation. The intent of this endeavor is to facilitate professional development of K-12 science teachers through research experience at the cutting edge of science. The BIO Directorate strongly encourages all its grantees to make special efforts to identify talented teachers for participation in this RET-supplement opportunity. We believe that encouraging active participation of teachers in on-going NSF projects is an excellent way to reach broadly into the teacher talent pool of our nation. The goal of the RET-supplement is to help build long-term collaborative relationships between K-12 teachers of science and the NSF research community. The Directorate for Biological Sciences at NSF is particularly interested in encouraging its researchers to build mutually rewarding partnerships with teachers at inner city schools and less well endowed school districts. A request for funding of a RET-supplement should be made under an existing NSF award or within a proposal for a new or renewal NSF award. The description of the RET-supplement activity should clearly articulate in some detail the form and nature of the prospective teacher's involvement in the Principal Investigator's ongoing or proposed research. Since it is expected that the RET-supplement experience will also lead to transfer of new knowledge to classroom activities, the RET-supplement description should also indicate what sustained follow-up would be provided to help in translating the teacher's research experience into classroom practice. A brief biographical sketch of the teacher should also be included. The duration of the RET-supplement will generally be one year and the project may be carried out during summer months, during the academic year, or both. For guidance and inquiries concerning the RET-supplement, including the application due date, the Principal Investigator should consult with the Program Director of his/her particular NSF award. An application for the RET supplement to an existing NSF award should be submitted via the FastLane. After logging in to Proposals, Awards & Status, the Principal Investigator (PI)/Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) Management, What Do You Want To Work On?" Screen will appear. Click on "Award and Reporting Functions", then click "Supplemental Funding Request". The procedure is the same as described in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) supplement. The Principal Investigator enters the description of the proposed RET-Supplement activity (limited to 3 pages), including a separate 2 page CV of each teacher (submitted in the Supplementary Docs section), justification of the funds requested, and a prepared budget. The budget includes a teacher's stipend and up to $1,000 for the cost of materials, equipment, software and other supplies for developing classroom instructions and experiments. An administrative allowance (limited to 25% of the teacher's stipend only) is allowed in lieu of indirect costs. The total cost of the supplement is limited to $10,000 per teacher. Normally funds may be available for up to two teachers, but exceptions will be considered. Participation of teachers who are members of underrepresented groups (minorities, and persons with disabilities) is strongly encouraged. An award decision will be based on internal review by the Program Director and availability of funds in a particular program. The National Science Foundation encourages you to visit K-12 teachers in your local school district and region, including those from NSF supported urban efforts, to make them aware of this RET-supplement opportunity as well as other NSF research and educational projects. Information on current NSF awards is readily available on www.nsf.gov/home/grants/grants_awards.htm. We trust that your time and efforts will open and facilitate new avenues for innovations in the teaching of science, mathematics, and engineering and enhance the development of the U.S. science and engineering workforce.
