DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
ED Proposes Regulations on TRIO, Distance Education, Return to Title IV
Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Education released<https://sheeo.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=273cdedba9f47ae33e0c2cddb&id=e4d9c6bd0b&e=5700f53c9f> new proposed rules pertaining to TRIO, distance education, and Return to Title IV (R2T4). The proposed TRIO rule would extend TRIO to students without immigration status who are enrolled in or seek to enroll in a high school in the United States and its territories. The proposed distance education rule includes new reporting requirements for programs offered entirely through distance education along with protections to ensure that students in career-focused distance education programs get direct instructor interaction by banning asynchronous instruction. Lastly, proposed changes to R2T4 are designed to help students who withdraw better pay down their balances. An unofficial copy of the proposed rules can be found here<https://sheeo.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=273cdedba9f47ae33e0c2cddb&id=fc80c7d8de&e=5700f53c9f>.

In response to the CHIPS Act of 2022 (Pub.L. 117-167), NSF is establishing the National STEM Teacher Corps Pilot Program.The purpose of this program is to elevate the profession of STEM teaching by establishing a National STEM Teacher Corps Pilot Program to recognize outstanding STEM teachers in our Nation's classrooms, reward them for their accomplishments, elevate their public profile, and create rewarding career paths to which all STEM teachers can aspire, both to prepare future STEM researchers and to create a scientifically literate public. With this solicitation, NSF is inviting proposals to establish an initial set of Regional Alliances responsible for (a) recruiting eligible applicants to become members of the National STEM Teacher Corps (see definitions in section II.A.); (b) screening, interviewing, and selecting members; and (c) supporting other activities detailed in the Program Description and the law (136 STAT. 1515).

https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/355219
https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf24587
The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) is one of the thirteen principal federal statistical agencies within the United States. It is responsible for the collection, acquisition, analysis, reporting and dissemination of objective, statistical data related to the science and technology (S&T) enterprise in the United States and other nations that is relevant and useful to practitioners, researchers, policymakers and the public. NCSES uses this information to prepare a number of statistical data reports including Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering and the National Science Board's biennial report, Science and Engineering (S&E) Indicators. The Center would like to enhance its efforts to support analytic and methodological research in support of its surveys as well as promote the education and training of researchers in the use of large-scale nationally representative datasets. NCSES welcomes efforts by the research community to use NCSES or other data to conduct research on the S&T enterprise, develop improved survey methodologies that could benefit NCSES surveys, explore alternate data sources that could supplement NCSES data, create and improve indicators of S&T activities and resources, strengthen methodologies to analyze S&T statistical data, and explore innovative ways to communicate S&T statistics. To that end, NCSES invites proposals for individual or multi-investigator research projects, doctoral dissertation improvement awards, conferences, experimental research, survey research and data collection, and dissemination projects under its program for Research on the Science and Technology Enterprise: Indicators, Statistics, and Methods (NCSES S&T).
