Conference: ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators

美国微生物学会本科教育者会议（ASMCUE）将于2023年11月17日至19日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行。ASMCUE是生物学和微生物学教育工作者的年度3天聚会，代表了高等教育的所有类型的机构。超过300名生物学家，其中95%居住在美国，每年参加访问教学，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。一个展厅展示了公共和私人组织展示教师资源和工具。ASMCUE一直是一个标志性的计划，以建设循证微生物学教学和指导的能力，为推进STEM教育的专业产生新的想法，并为ASM推出新的举措-赞助的教学资源。ASM的这一奖项将支持社区学院和少数民族服务机构的首次参加教师体验ASMCUE，并与其他教师分享教学法和教学的技巧和工具战略布局编程将包括一个同行指导计划，为首次参与者提供有组织的结构化活动。此外，NSF代表将有一个平台，在会议上介绍重点是NSF赠款机会，并提供有关NSF赠款申请过程和择优审查制度的信息。在NSF预定的会议之后，将提供一个论坛，在展厅时间举办小组和一对一的磋商。将通过调查对ASMCUE的经验进行评估。该奖项由生物科学理事会（BIO）生物基础设施部（DBI）和STEM教育理事会（EDU）本科教育部（DUE）支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
