The National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Education and Human Resources invites your participation in a listening session providing an opportunity to stimulate discussion with respect to the potential for online learning environments (e.g., distance learning tools, virtual laboratories, access to museum exhibits and other out-of-school STEM education resources) to change the organization of STEM education. It is not intended to make recommendations to NSF.
Connect to the Virtual Meeting:
The listening session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. Pre-registration is required for this event. Please pre-register at: https://ida-org.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsceyrrDguHFlUbZR2dM1Zcn6MqxieUic
This Office Hour will be Wednesday, January 27 from 2-3pm EST, where we will discuss “
Planning Conferences on Information Synthesis in Molecular and Cellular Bioscience,” followed by an open Q&A session. Questions should also be broad and of potential interest to others. Please register here.

On January 15 at 2:00 PM EST, the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS), together with the Divisions of Biological Infrastructure (DBI), Environmental Biology (DEB), and Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (MCB) in the Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) at the National Science Foundation (NSF and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will host a webinar about the Enabling Discovery through GEnomics (EDGE) program (NSF 21-546). Following a brief presentation, program directors from all of the Divisions and agencies will be available to answer questions from participants.
Through the EDGE program, the NSF and the NIH support genomic research that addresses the mechanistic basis of complex traits in diverse organisms within the context (environmental, developmental, social, and/or genomic) in which they function. The program also continues to support the de

The National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Education and Human Resources invites your participation in a second listening session providing an opportunity to stimulate discussion with respect to the evolving role of online learning in teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, specifically focusing on the identification of learning gains through online environments, including the role of new assessment approaches in measuring those gains.
Note: Because of the great interest in the first session, this is a second iteration of the meeting held first on 1/8/21. It is not intended to make recommendations to NSF.
