The Model Institutions for Excellence Saturday 22nd November, 2008

The Model Institutions for Excellence is a group of six minority-serving institutions selected by NASA and the NSF to develop new models in undergraduate education to promote diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

MIE/NSF Phase III Announced

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has recently announced that funding is available for the third and final phase of the MIE initiative. From the proposal announcement: The Model Institutes for Excellence program is a three-phase program. In the first two phases NSF funded four institutions to develop and refine models for increasing graduates from underrepresented groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The third phase is to provide funding for the institutionalization of these models. The four institutions currently funded by the NSF, Universidad Metropolitana, Oglala Lakota College, University of Texas at El Paso, and Xavier University, are eligible to apply for 3 year, 2.5 million dollar extension. Deadline for proposals is July 25, 2003. Read the official call for proposals on the NSF website for more information.
