Grant Opportunity: Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education

Fantastic new opportunity! Please consider submitting proposals to this program as you think about how the V & C movement has impacted biology education at community colleges. And share with your colleagues at 2 year, 4 year, and R1 institutes.

The National Science Foundation's (NSF's) Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) acknowledges the need to expand and chronicle educational change efforts across the nation.  To this end, DUE invites proposals to study the impact of the Vision and Change (V&C) movement in Undergraduate Biology Education. Specifically, this program seeks to support projects that evaluate a combination of factors such as the awareness, acceptance, adoption, and adaptation of V&C principles and outcomes including changes in curriculum, laboratories, and student retention, completion, and learning. Collectively, results of these projects are anticipated to describe the nature and extent of V&C’s use within the undergraduate biology curriculum. The projects could also describe key factors and approaches taken by the V&C community that have the potential to be useful for improving undergraduate education in other scientific disciplines or in interdisciplinary STEM education. 

Full Proposal Target Date: March 1, 2021, and the first Monday in March, Annually Thereafter
