The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program<http://arizona.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b6ba9388f9c749678c5f1628d&id=3a9129d240&e=db7a664467> is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, potentially transformative, and scalable models for STEM graduate education training. Note that this limited solicitation is only for the Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) Track of the NRT and not the Traineeship Track. The IGE Track is dedicated to piloting, testing, and evaluating bold new graduate-education approaches, models, and activities and to generate the knowledge required for their customization, implementation, and scaling. The IGE Track will not focus on comprehensive training (see NRT Traineeship track) or foundational research examining how graduate students learn, but rather will promote targeted test-bed efforts that are informed by evidence, including findings from learning-sciences research. Activities proposed may include, but are not limited to, student professional skill development, career preparation and vocational counseling, faculty training, inventive partnerships, international experiences, internships, outreach, virtual networks, and mentoring.

Total funding per IGE is $300,000 to $500,000 over 2 to 3 years.

Priority research areas include: (1) Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (DESE), (2) Understanding the Brain (UtB), (3) Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Water, Energy, and Water Systems (INFEWS), and (4) any other interdisciplinary research theme of national priority.

Important dates:

  *   College/Institute review internal deadline:  On or about November 13, 2015.  Please consult with your Dean’s/Director’s office for specific date.
  *   Office for Research & Discovery internal review deadline:  November 20, 2015.
  *   Sponsor Deadlines:  Letter of Intent – December 9, 2015, Full Application -- February 9, 2016.
Interested investigators are asked to submit a pre-proposal to their deans for referral to the Office for Research & Discovery by the internal deadline. Pre-proposals will include a 2-3 page project description and a 2-page NSF Biographical Sketch for the PI. The project description should include the following 6 points:

  1.  The name, departmental affiliation, and Dean’s Rank of the Principal Investigator (PI);
  2.  The name(s) and departmental affiliation(s) of the Co-PI(s) and others composing the 10 core participants;
  3.  Participating institution(s), if applicable;
  4.  Project title;
  5.  Keywords: Include 4-5 keywords that describe the model, approach, and/or activity to be piloted and tested.
  6.  Provide a brief description of the graduate education models, approaches, or activities to be piloted and tested, including a brief description of the disciplinary or interdisciplinary needs and/or challenges addressed.
Additional information about the limited solicitation review process is available on the Gateway to Research Services<http://arizona.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b6ba9388f9c749678c5f1628d&id=61be74c99e&e=db7a664467> or you may contact Research Development Services, VPR-ResDev at email.arizona.edu<mailto:VPR-ResDev at email.arizona.edu>.
