We received funds from NSF (as a supplement to the LNCO) to provide cross-site virtual sessions to LTER-based REU students this summer, bring 15 REU’s to the ASM and plan a longer-term initiative for REU across LTER (REUxLTER). Mentor scientists or educators that could contribute to this effort but don’t have site funding could be supported with the LTER Ed funds.
> 3.       Support the continued exploration/development of cross-site RET programming. In this case, mentors, educators and most especially teachers who have been LTER-based RET’s would be prime candidates for funding.
> 4.       Support the data literacy work. I recently met first hand with folks (Dan Damelin, Chad Dorsey) from Concord Consortium of CODAP fame and Andee Rubin from TERC. Though we opted NOT to have them present a workshop for us at the ASM, I think their participation would be of great mutual benefit.
