FOA-Vision
and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education

Description
The
National Science Foundation's (NSF's) Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE)
in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) acknowledges the
need to expand and chronicle educational change efforts across the nation. To this end, DUE invites proposals to
study the impact of the Vision and Change (V&C) movement in Undergraduate
Biology Education. Specifically, this program seeks to support projects that
evaluate a combination of factors such as the awareness, acceptance, adoption,
and adaptation of V&C principles and outcomes including changes in
curriculum, laboratories, and student retention, completion, and learning.
Collectively, results of these projects are anticipated to describe the nature
and extent of V&C’s use within the undergraduate biology curriculum. The
projects could also describe key factors and approaches taken by the V&C
community that have the potential to be useful for improving undergraduate
education in other scientific disciplines or in interdisciplinary STEM
education.
