Description
The National Science Foundation Innovation in Graduate Education (IGE) accepts applications for proposals that explore ways for graduate students in research-based master's and doctoral degree programs to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers. The Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative approaches to STEM graduate education training.
Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization:
NSF limits the number of proposals submitted by an organization to the following: 2 proposals –
An eligible organization may participate in two Innovations in Graduate Education proposals per competition. Participation includes serving as a lead organization on a non-collaborative proposal or as a lead organization, non-lead organization, or subawardee on a collaborative proposal. Organizations participating solely as evaluators on projects are excluded from this limitation. Proposals that exceed the institutional eligibility limit (beyond the first two submissions based on timestamp) will be returned without review regardless of the institution's role (lead, non-lead, subawardee) in the returned proposal.
*Please note that Co-PIs on a proposal with someone outside of our institution are still required to submit proposal materials to the Office of Research and Projects. The NSF will count the collaborative proposal toward our institutional limit.
Required SIUE Pre-Proposal Materials
- Project Summary (max 3 - 5 pages) with emphasis on how the project will address the Goals of the IGE program.
- Each PI or Co-PI must provide a 2-page C.V. with selected publications and activities that most relate to the projects conducted on this equipment.
Stronger proposals will:
- address how the project meets the proposal meets the NSF IGE Guidelines and Goals
- How the proposal will generate the knowledge base needed to inform the development of models of bold, new and potentially transformative approached to graduate education as well as their implementation and adaptability.Track 1 – Institutional Capacity Building
- How the proposal will catalyze rapid advances in STEM graduate education broadly as well as those responsive to the needs of particular disciplinary and interdisciplinary STEM fields.
- How your proposal will design, pilot and test new, innovative and transformative approaches for inclusive STEM graduate education.
- How will your proposal examine the potential to extend successful approach development in one discipline or context to other disciplines or contexts.
- Also, how you will develop projects that are informed by learning science and he existing body of knowledge about STEM graduate education.
