Hi all.,<br>
Below are some opportunities for educational supplements. Please
let me know if you are interested in pursuing any of these. The
deadline is 1 December. We have submitted successful RET and ROA
proposals in the past that I am happy to pass along as a guide to
anyone who might be interested in taking a lead on a proposal (past
proposals have only been a couple of pages). <br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif";">You recently
received – or may have received – a message from NSF
announcing diverse educational supplements that can be
requested by PIs of active awards. These supplements include
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs), Research
Experiences for Teachers (RETs), Research Opportunity Awards
(ROAs), and Research ? (something that begins with A) for High
School Students (RAHSS).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif";">Several of you have
written to ask if LTER awards are eligible for these
supplements, and the answer is yes with one exception. Most of
you already receive funds for 2 REU students as part of your
parent awards. LTER will not provide additional REU funds in
addition to these two. The remaining categories are open. The
deadline is 1 December. The LTER budget cannot cover a large
number of these requests, so it will be important for you to
think about what makes a competitive request. For the RET
supplements, I attach a score sheet that someone in DEB
developed a while ago. What we most want to know is how a
research experience for a teacher will be translated into a
meaningful educational activity for him or her and his school
or class.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

provided to individuals who have not been able to maintain an
active research career because they have worked at primarily
undergraduate institutions or community colleges. Funds are
provided for this individual to work with a researcher,
usually during the summer, to begin to get a research program
off the ground again, to establish new connections, and to be
re-introduced to the research community. Funds are not
intended for recent PhDs who have strong publication records
but have landed a job at an undergraduate institution, or for
others at undergraduate institutions who have been able to
maintain a reasonable research program. They are not intended
to provide a bit of start-up money for someone previously
associated with one or more LTER projects. We want to see that
you mentor promising individuals who are striving to enter or
re-enter the mainstream research community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
