Speaker(s):
This webinar seeks to build capacity in faculty at community colleges interested in submitting an NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) proposal. First, hear from NSF Program Officers about the new IUSE solicitation (NSF 23-510). Next, three IUSE awardees who currently teach at community colleges will share their insights and recommendations from their own experience with IUSE proposal preparation. After the presentation, join the speakers for Q&A and meet other attendees interested in submitting IUSE proposals.
