I think Oklahoma has a good possibility of accessing more NSF monies through this opportunity. - Stacey The National Science Foundation is encouraging proposals for: Pilot Local Systemic Change Projects A Pilot LSC is intended to build a foundation for systemic reform. In particular, Pilot LSC's are expected to include substantial professional development for participating teachers built around exemplary instructional materials. Pilot LSC's can be 2-3 years in length. They must include at least 15 teachers, each receiving at least 200 hours of teacher professional development over the life of the project. The total budget request cannot exceed $200,000. Deadline for preliminary proposal is May 18,2001. Full proposals are due September 10, 2001. Preliminary proposals are limited to 6 pages.
