REC is hosting a webinar on Using Measures/Tools to Assess Evidence Based Practices For Your NSF S-STEM Grants on July 25 at 4pm ET.

Based on feedback and requests from several S-STEM program evaluators, researchers, principal investigators (P*s), and Co-P*s, MNA has compiled a searchable repository of measures, instruments, research reports, and resources available to assess evidence-based practices (EBPs) and interventions commonly implemented by S-STEM grant-funded projects.

This one-hour webinar will introduce the repository, provide a guided walkthrough on how to navigate the repository and collect initial feedback and comments from webinar participants.

Register: https://tinyurl.com/3e9f5akj

The repository includes measures, instruments, research reports, and resources that address :
-sense of belonging -faculty mentoring -proactive/intrusive advising -peer-led tutoring and learning -social and intellectual integration -internship efficacy/satisfaction -academic life and general program satisfaction -academic and general self-efficacy -engineering self-efficacy -engineering and computer science identity -STEM identity -imposter syndrome/phenomenon, and -living-learning community. The repository is expected to develop through feedback, input, and crowdsourcing over time.

The NSF HSI program has announced new solicitation, “Hispanic-Serving Institutions: Enriching Learning, Programs, and Student Experiences (HSI:ELPSE)” (NSF 24-551). The tracks in the new solicitation are summarized below and the full text can be found at:

https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/hispanic-serving-institutions-enriching-learning/nsf24-551/solicitation

We are excited to announce that the program will be accepting proposals to the new educational instrumentation track this year, with a deadline of June 4, 2024.

Office Hours: The program will be announcing webinars and office hours in the coming weeks to introduce our community to the solicitation and answer questions about HSI:ELPSE.

Status of Solicitation 22-611: As noted in the ELPSE solicitation, the HSI program anticipates releasing a separate solicitation in Summer 2024 that will offer additional opportunities aligned with the program goals. HSI:ELPSE and this forthcoming solicitation will replace NSF 22-611 (Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions). As such, NSF 22-611’s status has been updated to “waiting for new publication”, and we do not anticipate future deadlines for that opportunity.
