Title
Science Master's Program (SMP) - NSF 09-607 (ARRA, Recovery Act)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The SMP awards made in response to this solicitation will be funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) (Public Law 111-5). Unless otherwise specified, ARRA funding should be considered one-time funding. As this solicitation is offered as part of ARRA, timeliness is important. Proposals that demonstrate a readiness to start the new program expeditiously will be given priority. Proposals must demonstrate that the proposed program is ready to award the new master's degree. Letters from senior administrators will be required to justify that the program has been approved by the various internal and external approval boards and groups prior to an award. A master's degree may currently be in place that can be extended to cover the new Science Master's Program.
An important feature of funded proposals will be the support of full-time graduate students. All stipend recipients supported by the Science Master's Program funds must be full-time students and citizens or permanent residents of the USA, its territories, or its possessions. It is anticipated that attractive programs will also enroll individuals, including foreign citizens, who are supported by other sources of funds (including their own funds), either part time or full time.
SMP proposals are expected to incorporate and integrate the following features:
1. A needs assessment that describes the nature of the workforce need, data that substantiate the need at the local, national, or even global level, and a summary of conversations and other expressions of interest on the part of industry, government, and/or the non-profit sector.
2. A comprehensive description of how the workforce need will be met, appropriate for master's level education, that serves as the foundation for trainee's activities and is based on labor market knowledge from industry, government, and/or the nonprofit sector of what transformative education and skills are needed in STEM activities and the management of STEM activities.
3. Innovative graduate education and training mechanisms, curricular enhancement, and other educational features that foster strong interactions among participating students, faculty, and workforce mentors.
4. A research experience appropriate to the SMP theme.
5. Career development opportunities; for example, international perspectives and instruction in ethics and the responsible conduct of research.
6. Program strategy and plan for recruitment, mentoring, retention, and graduation of U.S. graduate students, including efforts aimed at members of groups underrepresented in STEM, specifically, American Indian/Alaskan Natives, Blacks, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders (natives of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa), persons with a disability, and, in some STEM disciplines, women.
7. Strategy for formative assessments of the project's effectiveness and program improvements based on these assessments.
8. Administrative plan and organizational structure that ensures effective management of the project resources.
9. Plan for disseminating knowledge about innovative graduate education activities both within and outside the institution.
10. Institutional commitment to facilitating and furthering the plans and goals of the Science Master's Program project, to creating a supportive environment for its continued development, to creating a supportive environment for cyber-enabled learning, and to institutionalizing the successful elements of the project after NSF funding ends.
Proposals are expected to address all of the above topics.
From the NSF Grant Proposal Guide, NSF 09-29, April 2009:
NSF does not normally support technical assistance, pilot plant efforts, research requiring security classification, the development of products for commercial marketing, or market research for a particular project or invention. Research and education programs with disease-related goals, including work on the etiology, diagnosis or treatment of physical or mental disease, abnormality, or malfunction in human beings or animals, are not supported. Research and education on animal models of such conditions, or the development or testing of drugs or other procedures for their treatment also are not eligible for support. However, research and education in bioengineering, with diagnosis- or treatment-related goals, that apply engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine are eligible for support. Bioengineering research and education to aid persons with disabilities also are eligible.
