Conference: ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators

美国微生物学会本科教育工作者大会(ASMCUE)将于2023年11月17日至19日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行。ASMCUE是一年一度的为期3天的生物学和微生物学教育工作者聚会，代表所有类型的高等教育机构。超过300名生物学家，其中95%居住在美国，每年参加有关教学、学习和评估、学生咨询、学生研究、指导和专业技能发展的会议。展厅以公共和私人组织为特色，展示教师资源和工具。ASMCUE一直是一个标志性的项目，旨在建设循证微生物学教学和指导的能力，为促进STEM教育专业产生新的想法，并为ASM赞助的教学资源发起新的倡议。这个奖项将支持来自社区学院和少数族裔服务机构的首次参会教师体验ASMCUE，并与其他教师分享关于教学和教学策略的技巧和工具。计划将包括一个同伴指导计划，以首次参加的有组织的有组织的活动为特色。此外，国家科学基金会的代表将有一个平台在以国家科学基金拨款机会为重点的会议上介绍，并提供关于国家科学基金拨款申请程序和功绩审查制度的信息。在NSF预定的会议之后，将在展厅时间内提供一个论坛来接待小组和一对一的咨询。将通过调查对ASMCUE的体验进行评估。该奖项由生物科学局(BIO)的生物基础设施部(DBI)和STEM教育局(EDU)的本科生教育部(DUE)支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The American Society for Microbiology Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE) will be held November 17-19, 2023, in Phoenix, Arizona. ASMCUE is an annual 3-day gathering of biology and microbiology educators, representing all types of institutions of higher education. More than 300 biologists, of whom 95% reside in the United States, attend each year to access sessions on teaching, learning and assessment, student advising, student research, mentoring, and professional skills development. An exhibit hall features public and private organizations showcasing faculty resources and tools. ASMCUE has been a signature program for building capacity for evidence-based microbiology teaching and mentoring, generating new ideas for advancing the profession of STEM education, and launching new initiatives for ASM-sponsored teaching resources.This award to ASM will support first time attendee faculty from community colleges and minority serving institutions to experience ASMCUE and engage with other faculty to share tips and tools on pedagogy and teaching strategies. Programming will include a peer mentoring program featuring organized structured activities for first time participants. In addition, NSF representatives will have a platform to present in a session focused on NSF grant opportunities and provide information on the NSF grant application process and merit review system. Following the NSF scheduled session, a forum will be provided to host small group and one on one consultations during the exhibit hall hours. An evaluation of the ASMCUE experience will be done through a survey. This award is supported by the Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI) in the Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) and the Division for Undergraduate Education (DUE) in the Directorate for STEM Education (EDU).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
