An important recommendation in Shaping the Future is that NSF promote the implementation of effective curricula as well as their initial development. Adaptation and effective implementation require creative efforts, and provide opportunities for evaluation in alternative settings. Proposals should describe the materials and practices being adapted, as well as innovations required to effect the desired improvements. Many of these previously funded projects are in progress and proposers may wish to contact the project Principal Investigators to explore the possibility of serving as test sites. Materials for adaptation may be drawn from more than one project.
All projects involve collaborations of several institutions.
Information on these projects can also be obtained through the DUE Web site or Information Center as indicated above. Such projects are more appropriately supported by the institution. In recognition of the institutional commitment required to conduct successful projects and the particular benefit to the funded institution in the Adaptation and Implementation track of CCLI, a match by non-Federal funds equal to or greater than the NSF funds is required. Awardees will be institutions not previously funded through this Initiative. In CCLI-AA projects, matching is required only on equipment.
