很高兴最近与昆斯伯勒社区学院的Maria Mercedes Franco博士讨论了她多年来领导的许多STEM资助和倡议，她是一位真正充满激情和关怀的STEM教育家！

弗兰科博士是纽约城市大学昆斯伯勒社区学院数学和计算机科学系的教授。 她拥有康奈尔大学应用数学博士学位。 她还拥有Cornell University应用数学硕士学位和Universidad del Valle （Cali, columbia）数学学士学位。 She is the author of a book chapter entitled “Examining Human Rights through the Lens of Statistics”, included in Mathematics for Social Justice: Perspectives and Resbet365中文ces for the College Classroom – Vol II: Focusing on Quantitative Reasoning and Statistics, Vol 66, American Mathematical Society. (2021)

她曾作为项目负责人、合作负责人和主要教员领导过资助项目。 在本期重点报道节目中，我们将关注一个由美国国家科学基金会（nsf）资助的项目，名为数学本科研究中心（CURM），弗兰科博士是该项目的联席pi /联席主任之一。 该中心提供了一个资助机会，可能会引起你所在机构或网络中从事数学科学（即数学、计算机科学、数据科学、统计学、经济学、数学教育）的教师的兴趣。

资助机会：CURM为数学科学教师提供小额资助

Applications for the 2026–2027 cycle of CURM mini-grants are now open. 这些nsf资助的补助金支持教师对——一个来自两年制大学，一个来自四年制大学——他们有兴趣在各自的机构合作开发和实施本科数学研究经验。 这些补助金提供资金和专业发展，帮助教师为学生设计可持续和有意义的研究机会。

For more information, go to the CURM网站, or go directly to the CURM mini-grants page. 如果有教职员工感兴趣，需要一个合作伙伴，这里有一个寻找合作伙伴的人的名单。

申请截止日期：2025年12月15日

如果你刚刚了解到这一点，需要更多的时间来复习这个项目，请考虑明年申请！

CURM由迈克尔·多尔夫于2007年创立，至今已有300多名教师参与，影响了全美100多名学生。 curm资助的学生在数学会议上展示了他们的研究，与他们的导师共同撰写了出版物，获得了学生奖，许多人继续攻读数学研究生。 为了表彰这些成就，CURM获得了美国数学学会颁发的2015年杰出数学项目奖。 CURM leaders and participants frequently share the program’s impact at regional and national meetings of the Mathematical Association of America, the American Mathematical Society, and the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges.这个网站包含了一些与curm相关的关于做本科生研究的文章的链接。

我们期待纽约恒生指数STEM中心的成员参与CURM当前和未来的项目周期。 再次感谢佛朗哥博士让中心注意到这个绝佳的机会！

作为一名教育工作者，我相信不断采用在其他机构中被证明有效的循证最佳实践。 例如，在教导成人学习者时，我发现将教学分成结构化的部分——比如简短的回顾、课程、简短的测验和实验——有助于保持参与并支持更深层次的学习。

我最出名的一项练习是我在每堂课上都会做的一项活动，我称之为“名字和感觉”。 在这个练习中，每个学生站起来分享他们的名字和他们那天的感受。 作为一名高中教师，我第一次使用这个策略，并将其应用到高等教育中，因为它持续取得了成功。 其目的是营造一个安全、支持性的课堂环境，让学生感到被重视和重视。

这个活动也帮助我了解学生的情感和身体需求。 如果一个学生饿了，累了，或者不知所措，我可以提供支持——无论是提供零食，鼓励休息，还是简单地提供安慰。 虽然学生们一开始常常觉得这种练习很尴尬，但很多人在学期末就会逐渐喜欢上它。 以前的学生经常告诉我，他们记得“名与情”，并问我是否还以它开始上课，这加强了它的积极影响。

关于Juan Rodriguez博士

Juan Rodriguez博士是纽约州立大学威彻斯特社区学院网络安全助理教授，拥有超过七年的教学经验，教育技术领导博士学位，并获得多项行业认证。 His work centers on creating innovative, industry-aligned labs and lessons, advising the Cybersecurity Club, and contributing to research and grant-funded initiatives such as the NSF New York HSI STEM Hub (DUE – Division of Undergraduate Education Grant), for which he serves as Co-Principal Investigator. 凭借十多年的IT经验和获得HiTec创新计划奖等认可，他致力于激励下一代网络安全专业人员和推进STEM教育。

The New York HSI STEM Hub is a collaboration between SUNY 威彻斯特 Community College and Arizona State University’s Center for Broadening Participation in STEM (CBP-STEM). Its primary goal is to establish a professional development resbet365中文ce that supports faculty through student-centered instruction and grantsmanship.

Through a year-long professional development series, Hub members engage in topics such as STEM Belonging Theory, Project-based Learning, Inquiry-based Learning, and Grant Writing. Within this series, participants move through key stages of the grantsmanship pathway: developing a research idea grounded in their own institutional context, collaborating with faculty and grant professionals on their campus, and learning strategies for National Science Foundation (NSF) proposal development. The Hub bet365中文s solicitations from the NSF, such as the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program (IUSE:EDU; NSF 23-510), to model each step of the grant writing process.

Tips for writing effective NSF grant proposals include:

• Reading both the solicitation of interest and the 提案与奖励政策与程序指南（PAPPG）.
• 检讨获资助建议的例子。
• 计划3-6个月的提案开发。
• 尽早确定校园或外部合作者，明确角色。
• 参加导师计划（例如，纽约HSI STEM Hub或Mentor-连接）。

If you are interested in learning more about student-centered instructional practices or grant writing and are part of the 14-campus SUNY and CUNY Hub, we encbet365中文age you to join the second cohort of the New York HSI STEM Hub.

If you have questions about applying for Cohort Two (application deadline is May 1, 2026). Please contact Mayrismir Cordero at [email protected] or Mary Hegarty at [email protected]

UNIDOS Partnership Matching Travel Grants program is now accepting applications! It can be challenging to develop new collaborations – especially when you only have short interactions with people or only virtual interactions. With this in mind, the UNIDOS Partnership Travel Grant program will support small groups of faculty, staff, and administrators in traveling to partner institutions (or other relevant sites) specifically to initiate new collaborations or strengthen nascent collaborations focbet365中文d on projects aligned with the NSF HSI program. By reducing financial barriers to in-person meetings, we aim to foster cross-institutional connections, encbet365中文age shared research and teaching initiatives, and expand opportunities for partnerships. This strategy will help catalyze new collaborations that advance STEM education research, grant development, STEM education teaching practices, and other initiatives focbet365中文d on undergraduate STEM education at HSIs.

即将到来的申请截止日期： 2025年12月1日； 2026年3月1日； 2026年6月1日。
