The objective of the CISE Educational Innovation (EI) program is to 
stimulate innovative educational activities at the undergraduate level in 
CISE disciplines by encouraging the transfer of research results into the 
undergraduate curriculum. The EI program will support the design, 
development, testing and dissemination of innovative approaches for 
increasing the effectiveness of the undergraduate learning experience in 
CISE disciplines by integrating research results into undergraduate 
courses and curricula. The research, whether ongoing or completed, may be 
drawn from any research project, not just those funded by the National 
Science Foundation. Projects supported by the EI program are expected to 
act as a national model of excellence by being a prototype of educational 
experiences for use by a broader segment of the scientific and 
engineering community. Consequently, successful dissemination of the 
project results is essential. Collaboration with other institutions as 
part of the dissemination activities is highly encouraged. SUPPORT 
PROVIDED: EI awards will be for three years and are expected to range 
from $300,000 to $600,000 over the three-year period. At the current 
level of funding for this program, the program expects to select four to 
six proposals for support. APPLICANT INFORMATION: Proposals will be 
accepted from any U.S. college or university that currently offers 
baccalaureate degree programs in any disciplines supported by the CISE 
Directorate. Only one proposal per institution will be accepted in any 
one year. (NSF 97-41)
