  1. National Science Foundation Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) National Science Foundation Directorate for Education and Human Resources

  2. Innovation through Institutional Integration • Challenges faculty, administrators, and others in institutions of higher education to think strategically about the creative integration of NSF-funded awards towards a whole that exceeds the sum of its parts.

  3. GLOBALLY ENGAGED WORKFORCE CRITICALEDUCATIONAL JUNCTURES BROADENINGPARTICIPATION Cyber-enabled International RESEARCH & EVALUATION INTEGRATIONOF RESEARCH& EDUCATION Innovation through Institutional Integration

  4. Keys to Innovation CreativityConnectivity IntegrationSynergy

  5. Goals of I3 • Increase synergy and collaboration across NSF-funded projects and within/between institutions • Expand and deepen impact, and enhance sustainability • Broaden participation, attend to transitions across critical educational junctures, and/or provide for more globally engaged workforce • Promote innovative programming, policies and practices to encourage integration of STEM research and education • Encourage research on intra- or inter-institutional integration & broader impacts

  6. Innovation through Institutional Integration Proposals are expected to incorporate a depth and quality of creative, coherent, and strategic actions that extend beyond commonplace approaches to normal institutional operations.

  7. Cross-Divisional Effort In EHR For 2009, proposals are solicited in nine programs: • Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) • Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE) • Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) • Alliances for Broadening Participation in STEM: Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) • Math and Science Partnerships (MSP) • Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) • Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (NOYCE) • Research in Disabilities Education (RDE) • Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP)

  8. Eligibility And Limit On Number Of Proposals • I3 is limited to institutions of higher education (including two – and four- year colleges) accredited in, or having a campus located in the US, unless the proposal is exclusively for I3 STEM educational or related research. • If the proposal is exclusively for research, then all categories of proposers identified in the NSF Grant Proposal Guide are eligible. • Principal Investigator must be the University Provost or equivalent chief academic officer, unless the proposal is exclusively for I3 STEM educational or related research.

  9. Eligibility And Limit On Number Of Proposals • Only one proposal from an institution may be submitted for each deadline. All proposals, without regard to which program submitted, will be reviewed in competition with one another. • No more than one award will be made to an institution.

  10. Proposals For Implementation Expected To Articulate • Project’s vision, goals, and anticipated outcomes • Plan for achieving them, based on relevant literature • Results from prior, relevant NSF investments, especially those projects on which proposed institutional integration is based • Management/governance plan and timeline • Evaluation plan to assess progress and success in meeting project goals and objectives

  11. Proposals For Research Expected To Provide • Brief review of literature that informs proposed research • Discussion of methodology and its alignment with strategic research questions • Clear articulation of logic among research question, method, analysis, inference, and evidence

  12. Project Evaluation • Information about the project evaluation component of the proposal can be found in the solicitation: • Section V: PROPOSAL PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS • A. Proposal Preparation Instructions

  13. Special Review Criteria • Extent to which project addresses goals for institutional integration and adds value to existing awards • Demonstrated track record of success with existing NSF awards as base for project • Degree of innovation • Extent to which project addresses programming, policies, and practices that sustain institutional changes needed for ongoing synergy

  14. Innovation through Institutional Integration Continuing grants of up to $250K per year for up to five years, for a total of $1,250,000 with funding for years 4 and 5 dependent on project progress and availability of funds.

  15. Proposals Due:February 24, 2009 & August 25, 2009 I3 proposals submitted to any of the nine participating EHR programs have a common due date and will be reviewed in competition with one another.
