The National Science Foundation announces program solicitation 08-509,
"Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE)."
Synopsis of Program:
The COSEE Network, which consists of eleven coordinated COSEE Centers,
fosters the integration of ocean research into high-quality educational
materials, enables ocean researchers to gain a better understanding of
educational organizations and pedagogy, provides educators with an
enhanced capacity to understand and deliver high-quality educational
programs in the ocean sciences, and provides material to the public that
promotes a deeper understanding of the ocean and its influence on each
person's quality of life and our national prosperity.
The Division of Ocean Sciences solicits proposals to operate a Central
Coordinating Office for the COSEE Network. The Central Coordinating
Office organizes national oversight of the COSEE effort, enhances
communication and collaboration among the Centers, and documents COSEE
activities and outcomes.
The Division of Ocean Sciences also solicits proposals for conducting a
comprehensive evaluation of the impact of the COSEE National Network.
The Division of Ocean Sciences also solicits proposals for innovative
new collaborations with existing COSEE centers.
