The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently released a new program
solicitation (NSF 10-54) seeking Phase I proposals for the Climate
Change Education Partnership (CCEP) program. Over the next several
weeks, NSF will be offering three voluntary webinars to help prospective
Principal Investigators better understand the requirements for this new
program. NSF encourages all interested parties to participate in one of
these sessions. They ask that prospective CCEP teams please limit the
number of representatives from their team, because of limits on the
number of participants that can be registered for a webinar at any time.
Slides from the webinars will be posted on the NSF website for viewing
after-the-fact by those who cannot participate in real time.
At the present time, the following webinar dates have been scheduled:
- Monday, 15 March 2010 from 1:45 to 3:15 p.m. EDT
- Tuesday, 23 March 2010 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. EDT
- Thursday, 25 March 2010 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. EDT
The webinar on Monday, 15 March is being held in conjunction with a
meeting of Principal Investigators funded in FY2009 through the NSF
Climate Change Education program. Discussion of the CCEP solicitation
will be included as part of a larger discussion at the meeting on the
federal role in climate change education. This session will include an
overview of the U.S. Global Change Research Program and additional
funding opportunities related to climate change education that are being
offered by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions immediately
following the presentations, but the time for Q&A is expected to be
limited at this first webinar.
The one-hour webinars on Tuesday, 23 March and Thursday, 25 March will
be exclusively focused on the NSF CCEP solicitation, with an opportunity
for online participants to ask questions of NSF program staff. The
content presented in these two webinars (and in the NSF solicitation
portion of the 15 March webinar) will be identical, so it is not
necessary to participate in more than one webinar.
Proposal-specific questions should be reserved for separate discussion
with NSF program staff listed on the CCEP solicitation.
