This solicitation is the successor solicitation to NSF 08-516. It is different in the following major ways:
1.. This new solicitation emphasizes the development of student competencies in computing concepts, methods, technologies and tools - referred to as computational thinking - in approaches that promise to revitalize undergraduate education.
2.. The former CPATH tracks of Community Building and Institutional Transformation have been replaced by Class I and Class II tracks; Class I and II tracks are defined by project budget size. The types of project activities previously proposed in the Community Building and Institutional Transformation tracks may be proposed to the new Class I and II tracks.
3.. This solicitation is a multi-year solicitation.
While aimed primarily at revitalizing undergraduate education, CISE encourages the exploration of new models that extend from institutions of higher education into the K-12 environment; activities that engage K-12 teachers and students to facilitate the seamless transition of secondary students into CT-focused undergraduate programs are particularly encouraged.
