• Please join the Institute for STEM Education Advisory Board Spring Meeting on Monday, April 29 at Noon in SF 329.  During the public session of the meeting (12:00 - 12:30), we'll be sharing two tools created this year by faculty working groups that are designed to help PI manage grants.   The first is an outline of all of the procedures to hire individuals to support grant work.  This includes students, faculty, staff, and outside consultants.   The second is a database of existing relationships with local K-12 teachers, administrators, and school districts.   The meeting is in person and there is no video conference option but these two resources will be shared through ORSP.    If you'd like to attend, please RSVP to bruce.simon@csueastbay.edu
  
  

• The Research Strategic Plan Subcommittee of the Committee on Research is creating a directory of the content and methodological expertise areas of faculty. Our hope is that this will enable/foster collaborative work on grants and other Research, Creative, and Scholarly Activities (RSCA). Your responses will be shared with others who complete the form, and may be published widely. If you are not interested in collaboration/ mentorship, you will have the opportunity to opt out. We would still appreciate you completing this form for internal reference and to better capture student RSCA engagement. Link to the Expertise Directory Google Form:
