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.

Number: PD-08-1698 Title:
Developmental and Learning Sciences Brief
Description: DLS supports fundamental research that increases
our understanding of cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and
biological processes related to children's and adolescents' development
and learning. Research supported by this program will add to our
basic knowledge of how people learn and the underlying developmental
processes that support learning, with the objective of leading to
better educated children and adolescents who grow up to take productive
roles as workers and as citizens. Among the many research topics
supported by DLS are: developmental cognitive neuroscience; development
of higher-order cognitive processes; transfer of knowledge from
one domain or situation to another; use of molecular genetics to
study continuities and discontinuities in development; development
of peer relations and family interactions; multiple influences on
development, including the impact of family, school, community,
social institutions, and the media; adolescents’ preparation
for entry into the workforce; cross-cultural research on development
and learning; and the role of cultural influences and demographic
characteristics on development. Additional priorities include research
that: incorporates multidisciplinary, multi-method, microgenetic,
and longitudinal approaches; develops new methods, models, and theories
for studying learning and development; and integrates different
processes (e.g., learning, memory, emotion), levels of analysis
(e.g., behavioral, social, neural), and time scales (e.g. infancy,
middle childhood, adolescence). This program supports Integrative
Research Activities for Developmental Science (IRADS). The program
currently is at its capacity for supporting such large-scale awards,
and is therefore not considering new IRADS proposals at this point
in time. The program is accepting proposals for individual investigator
projects (average total budget of approximately $100,000 per year)
and workshops/ small conferences (average total one-time budget
of approximately $15,000).

Number: 06-559 Title: Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) Brief Description: The goal of Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) is to enhance computational aspects of the education and training of undergraduate students in the mathematical sciences -- mathematics and statistics -- and to better prepare these students to pursue careers and graduate study in fields that require integrated strengths in computation and the mathematical sciences. The core of the activity is long-term research experiences for cohorts of at least six undergraduates. Projects must focus on research topics that require interplay between computation and mathematics or statistics. They should expose students to contemporary mathematics, statistics, and computation, addressed with modern research tools and methods. That is, projects must be genuine research experiences rather than rehearsals of research methods. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged, and appropriate mentorship from the disciplines involved is welcomed. In addition, we expect that projects will strengthen the research and education capacity, infrastructure, and culture of the participating institutions. To this end, we welcome projects that create models for education in the mathematical sciences and influence the direction of academic programs for a broad range of students. CSUMS is a joint effort of the Education and Human Resources (EHR) and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) directorates at the National Science Foundation (NSF). Funding Type: Grant Proposed
