Innovation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate education is vital to meet the needs of science and society in the 21st century. The Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative approaches to STEM graduate education training. The program supports piloting, testing, and validating novel models or activities and examining systemic innovations with high potential to enrich and extend the knowledge base on effective graduate education approaches.

 

The program addresses both workforce development, emphasizing broad participation, and institutional capacity-building needs in graduate education. Strategic collaborations with the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, national laboratories, field stations, teaching and learning centers, informal science organizations, and academic partners are encouraged.

 

The IGE program will support proposals in two tracks:

 
Track 1: Career Preparation and Student Success Pilots
Under Track 1, the IGE program invites proposals to pilot, test, and validate innovative approaches to graduate education with an emphasis on career preparation and student success.
 
Track 2: Systemic Interventions and Policies
Track 2 is new, with a primary goal to support research on how various systemic innovations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate education impact graduate student outcomes (such as graduation rates, retention, employment, etc.).
 
Leadership teams (PI/Co-PIs) for both tracks are encouraged to include experts in education research, the learning sciences, and/or evaluation, as appropriate, as well as in the principal science domain(s), as needed, to design and implement a robust and appropriate research plan.
 
More information can be found in the IGE program solicitation.

 

This is a limited submission opportunity and Harvard may only submit two proposals in response to this call under the following participation arrangements:

The Office of the Vice Provost for Research is facilitating an internal competition for interested applicants. To be considered for a Harvard nomination, potential applicants must submit an internal pre-proposal by 9:00 AM on February 26, 2024, via the link above.
