In 1997, the NSF undertook a major change in the nature and the timetable for their undergraduate grant programs. The three major components of their mission-undergraduate instruction, technical education, and teacher preparation- are now the organizing themes for the three major types of funding in DUE. One of these, the Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Instruction (CCLI) initiative, has a deadline this fall, with a closing date of November 16, 1998. To normalize the review and funding cycle, NSF will also have a closing date of June 7, 1999, to be followed by an annual June deadline thereafter.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
