Funding-Limited
Submission – NSF - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent
Expansion Program (STEP) 11-550; June 25, 2012
The
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program
(STEP) seeks to increase the number of students (U.S. citizens or permanent
residents) receiving associate or baccalaureate degrees in established or
emerging fields within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM). Type 1 proposals are solicited that provide for full implementation
efforts at academic institutions. Type 2 proposals are solicited that support
educational research projects on associate or baccalaureate degree attainment
in STEM.
Limit on Number of Proposals per
Organization: Because
the University of Kentucky has previously been the lead institution on a STEP Type
1 award, it is currently eligible to submit only one Type 1b proposal in this
current cycle. Contact the Appalachian & Minority Science, Technology,
Engineering, & Mathematics Majors (AMSTEMM) Office (AMSTEMM@uky.edu) for data on UK’s previous
STEP award.
There
are no restrictions on the number of Type 2 proposals that an individual or
organization may submit.

Information and Solicitation: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5488
Because NSF limits an institution to one Type
1b application per year, the University of Kentucky has established an internal
selection process.
Prospective applicants interested in submitting a proposal to this program
should submit the following information electronically to the Office of the
Vice President for Research at vpr@email.uky.edu
and a copy to their Associate Dean for Research by Monday, June 25, 2012:
A
committee will be convened to review the proposals and make a recommendation as
to UK’s applicant. Questions about the submission process may be sent to Ms.
Annette Evans in the Office of the Vice President for Research (alevan4@email.uky.edu or 257-1663).
