How much detail should be provided if the educational focus is on undergraduate students, K-12 or other outreach activities?
In all cases, proposals should contain enough detail such that reviewers can evaluate the importance of the effort and the likelihood of success. For example, proposals that include a focus on undergraduate education activities should reflect current understanding of how students learn in STEM fields and engaging pedagogy. For those proposing K-12 activities, briefly describe how this effort builds upon existing robust K-12 activities with K-12 organizations or plans to form collaborations with large scale projects such as NSF Math and Science Partnership projects. In addition, briefly outline plans (if any) for public engagement and outreach through partnerships with organizations experienced in informal learning and serving public audiences.
