Project scope may range from an individual course or laboratory to a more comprehensive effort that impacts entire curricula or programs. The table on page 9 indicates the budget range based on the scope of the project. Adaptation and effective implementation require creative efforts, and provide opportunities for evaluation of exemplary materials in alternative settings. Materials for adaptation may be drawn from more than one project. Many of these previously funded projects are in progress, and proposers may wish to contact the project PIs for further information.
All projects involve collaborations of several institutions.
Information on these projects can also be obtained through the DUE Web site or Information Center. Proposals must describe the materials and practices being adapted and the innovations required to effect the desired improvements. Proposals must describe in specific terms the extent of faculty and administration support. Furthermore, the proposal must clearly describe how the project fits into departmental and institutional goals and plans. This track supports the national dissemination of exemplary materials and practices through the provision of opportunities for faculty professional development.
