  3. DUE FY2010 Investmentstargeted to biology projects • UBM $0.6 million • RCN-UBE $1.25 million • CCLI/TUES, type 1 and 2 $3.64 million

  4. STEP Center - BIO • Awarded jointly by EHR and BIO, $2 million/yr for 5 years • Address a challenge or opportunity in undergraduate education within a national context. • Develop the pedagogical skills of higher education faculty. • Effect departmental or higher-level institutional improvements in undergraduate biology education. • Preliminary competition complete; full proposals due January 20, 2011

  5. TUES • Type I $200,000 for 2 to 3 years. • Type II $600,000 for 2 to 4 years. • Type III negotiable, < $5,000,000 over 5 years. • Central Resource projects - negotiable. Projects sustain a community of practice engaged in transforming undergraduate STEM education. • Next Deadline for Type II, III and Central Resource proposals: January 14, 2011

  6. Other Initiatives • Noyce – scholarships for STEM majors as they prepare for K-12 teaching • REESE – research on teaching and learning • ATE – technician education • CTE – Cyberlearning transforming education

  7. Ongoing Strategic Planning:Transforming Undergraduate Biology • What will establish a culture in which all faculty base their teaching on what is known about how students learn? • Need to build capacity for assessing learning. • What is the right balance between funding further innovation and focusing on bringing about cultural shift?
