A CCLI Proposal Preparation Workshop for Two-Year College Chemistry Faculty

两年制大学（2YCs）培养了全国相当一部分本科生，包括化学和其他STEM专业的学生。此外，相当一部分未被充分代表的少数民族在2年开始他们的高等教育，以及相当数量的未来K-12教师在2年完成他们的科学课程。考虑到2YCs对未来STEM劳动力教育的贡献，2YCs学生接受卓越的科学教育势在必行。CCLI项目是美国国家科学基金会支持本科化学教育创新的重要项目之一。超过三分之一的本科生是在2YCs接受教育的，然而CCLI在2YCs授予化学系的奖项数量却极不相称。该项目为2YC的化学教师提供了机会，以提高他们准备提交给CCLI计划的高质量资助提案的能力。成功获得cci资助并管理cci资助项目的2年和4年制大学化学教育工作者将领导本项目。一个为期一天半的工作坊，为2YC的化学教师提供准备拨款申请的全面培训，并提供工作坊后的支持，以协助参与者准备CCLI的提案。该项目包括不少于20%的来自代表性不足群体的参与者。此外，该项目还促进了2YC化学教育者社区与化学教育研究（CER）小组领导层之间的合作，促进了CER领导人发现的有价值的发现和方法的传播，提高了2YC化学家教育学生的能力。

Chemistry (12)Two-year colleges (2YCs) educate a considerable portion of the nation's undergraduates, including those in chemistry and other STEM majors. Furthermore, a substantial proportion of underrepresented ethnic minorities commence their post-secondary education in 2YCs, along with a significant number of future K-12 teachers who complete their science courses in 2YCs. Considering the contribution of 2YCs to the education of the future STEM workforce, it is imperative that 2YCs students receive exceptional science education. The CCLI program is one of the most important NSF program to support innovation in undergraduate chemical education. More than one-third of undergraduates are educated in 2YCs, yet the number of CCLI awards granted to chemistry departments in 2YCs is exceedingly disproportionate. This project is providing 2YC chemistry faculty opportunities to enhance their ability to prepare quality grant proposals intended for submission to the CCLI program. Chemical educators from both 2YCs and four-year institutions who have been successful in acquiring CCLI funding and managing CCLI-funded projects are leading this project. A one and half day workshop, offering 2YC chemistry faculty comprehensive training in grant proposal preparation, is being followed with post-workshop support to assist the participants in CCLI proposal preparation. The project is including no less than twenty percent of participants from underrepresented groups. Furthermore, this project is catalyzing collaboration between the community of 2YC chemistry educators and the leadership within the Chemical Education Research (CER) group, fostering dissemination of the valuable discoveries and methodologies uncovered by the CER leaders, enhancing the capacity of chemists in 2YCs to educate their students.
