Description
This NSF program seeks proposals focused on adapting, implementing, and/or disseminating evidence-based teaching strategies and learning materials to improve undergraduate STEM education. Projects may adapt proven instructional approaches to new settings, implement educational innovations, or spread effective practices to broader audiences, including through faculty training, conferences, or professional networks. All proposals should contribute to understanding how successful strategies transfer across diverse institutional contexts and impact student learning. The program supports both research and development activities and emphasizes projects with potential for broad societal impact, including efforts to increase diversity and institutional transformation in STEM education.
