The NSF Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) in collaboration with AAAS will offer an Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Directorate for STEM Education (IUSE: EDU) webinar focusing on opportunities for funding in the IUSE: EDU program, specifically associated with aspects of undergraduate education related to STEM pre-service teacher preparation. An audio archive and slides will be posted on nsfnoyce.org, aaas-arise.org, and aaas-iuse.org.

The IUSE: EDU program “seeks to promote novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for all undergraduates.” The program supports proposals interested in improving undergraduate education, developing faculty expertise, preparing K-12 teachers, and providing all undergraduate students, including pre-service teachers, with STEM competencies and a basic understanding of STEM concepts and principles. All projects must contribute to the body of knowledge about what works in undergraduate STEM education and the conditions that lead to improved STEM teaching and learning.
