  6. Course, Curriculum, & Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) Program Solicitation: NSF 05-559 Vision: • Excellent STEM education for all undergraduate students. Goal: • Stimulate, disseminate, and institutionalize innovative developments in STEM education through the production of knowledgeand the improvement of practice.

  7. Increased Emphases in New CCLI Solicitation • Building on and contributing to the STEM education knowledge base • Building a community of scholars in STEM education • Identifying project-specific measurable outcomes • Using them in the project management and evaluation

  8. Three Types of Projects • Three phases • Phase 1: Exploratory Projects • Phase 2: Expansion Projects • Phase 3: Comprehensive Projects • Phases reflect the • Scope -- number of components of the cyclic model • Scale -- number of institutions, students and faculty • State -- maturity of the proposed innovation • Progression • Phase 1 projects may lead to Phase 2 projects, etc. • Not required

  9. Phase 1: Exploratory Projects • Budget: Up to $150,000 • $200,000 when 4-year & 2-year schools collaborate • Duration: 1 to 3 years • Scope and Scale: • One program component • Limited number of students & faculty at one institution • Expected Results: • Contribute to the STEM education knowledge base • Serve as basis for Phase 2 project

  10. Important Features of Successful Projects • Quality, Relevance, and Impact • Student Focus • Use of and Contribution to the STEM Education Knowledge Base • STEM Education Community-Building • Expected Measurable Outcomes • Project Evaluation

  11. Deadlines • Proposals must be submitted by the following dates • Phase 1 -- May 17, 18, and 19 • depending on first letter in state name • January 24, 2006: Phase 2 and Phase 3 proposals • No late submissions • No corrections or updates after deadline

  12. Available Funds • $31 million   • Phase 1: Exploratory Projects • 55 to 70 awards • Phase 2: Expansion Projects • 15 to 25 awards • Phase 3: Comprehensive Projects • 1 to 4 awards expected
