The Discipline-based Science Education Research Center (dB-SERC) is seeking proposals for course transformation awards from the natural sciences faculty members in the Kenneth P. Dietrich Â鶹´«Ã½ of Arts & Sciences.

The awards are to transform courses and improve student learning in those courses by adapting evidence-based practices and to facilitate faculty growth as teacher scholars consistent with dB-SERC’s mission to improve teaching and learning of natural sciences at Pitt.

Several grants of up to $10,000 will be awarded to cover projects undertaken between May 1, 2022, and Aug. 31, 2023.

All full-time natural sciences faculty members in the Dietrich Â鶹´«Ã½ of Arts & Sciences who teach undergraduate courses at the Pittsburgh campus are eligible to submit proposals. Collaborations between faculty members in the Dietrich Â鶹´«Ã½ and the Â鶹´«Ã½ of Computing and Information, the Swanson Â鶹´«Ã½ of Engineering or other disciplines are also eligible as long as one of the project directors is a faculty member in the Dietrich Â鶹´«Ã½.

The deadline for submissions is March 1. All proposals must be sent to the dB-SERC proposal email (dbserc [at] pitt.edu). For more details, visit theÌý.
