Undergraduate Education at the NSF: An Under-Utilized Source of Funding for Teaching and Research in Psychology

NSF的本科教育项目，特别是TUES（Transnasforming Undergraduate Education in STEM），为课程创新、基础教育研究提供支持，也支持STEM教育教学法、教师发展和教育评估方法的改进，但很少有心理学方面的申请。本提案旨在通过一个关于NSF教育计划的研讨会和一个由TUES支持的心理学项目展示来解决这个问题。 这个项目是集中在心理科学协会（APS）在华盛顿，DC（5月23日至25日）第25届年会邀请会议。APS是心理科学最重要的学科协会。本次会议将展示TUES计划支持的项目，并作为一个研讨会，确定参与者可能感兴趣的EHR资助机会。

NSF undergraduate education programs, particularly TUES (Trnasforming Undergraduate Education in STEM), provide support for curricular innovations, basic education research, and also support applications in STEM education pedagogy, faculty development, and improvement of education assessment methods, yet few proposals for these funds are submitted in psychology. The present proposal is designed to address this problem through a workshop about NSF education programs and a showcase of projects in psychology supported by TUES. This project is centered on an invited session at the 25th annual convention of the Association for Psychological Science (APS) in Washington, DC (May 23-25). APS is the foremost disciplinary association for psychological science. This session will showcase projects that have been supported by the TUES program and function as a workshop that identifies EHR funding opportunities of possible interest to participants.
