I have spent some time in the last months explaining where the NSF Web site has relevant information for the science education community. But, of course, the NSF is best known for its financial support, through grants and contracts, of research and innovation. Grant programs are all accessed through a proposal process and, this month, I will explain where the Web site has information that may be helpful for people preparing a new proposal.
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
