NSF: Advancing Informal
STEM Learning
This program will support
projects that advance new approaches to STEM learning in informal environments
or advance evidence-based understanding of the design and development of
informal learning opportunities. The program also supports studies of how
people learn in these environments. Increasing participation of underrepresented
minorities is a priority. AISL is not limited to schoolchildren; opportunities
to increase adults’ understanding of STEM fields also can be funded.
There are five types of AISL
grants:
1. Pathways (up to $300,000 total over
up to two years). Pathways projects allow practitioners and researchers an
opportunity to undertake exploratory development work or feasibility studies
that have the potential to lead to the submission of innovative,
field-advancing proposals of other project types, such as Research in Service
to Practice or Innovations in Development.
2. Research in Service to Practice
($300,000 to $2 million for up to five years). The Research in Service to
Practice project type specifically focuses on research that advances knowledge and
the evidence base for practices, assumptions, broadening participation, and
emerging educational arrangements in STEM learning in informal environments.
3. Innovations in Development ($500,000
to $3 million over up to five years). The Innovations in Development project
type is specifically expected to result in innovative models, programs,
technologies, assessments, resources, and/or systems for any area of STEM
learning in informal environments. Projects should build on evidence from prior
development and research efforts in the field.
4. Broad Implementation ($500,000 to $3
million over up to five years). The Broad Implementation project type
specifically supports the expansion of models, programs, technologies,
assessments, resources, research, and/or systems that have a documented record
of success, innovation, and/or evidence-based knowledge building.
5. Conferences, Symposia, and
Workshops. Conferences, Symposia, and Workshops should be well focused, relate
to the goals of the AISL program, and generate product(s) usable by
practitioners and researchers. The program is particularly interested in
proposals that lead to, for example, the development of communities of
practice, the formulation of field-advancing practice, assessments, and/or
research agendas for the participating professional communities. Proposals
should clearly indicate how the study contributes to the advancement of STEM
learning in informal environments.
Proposals are due January 14,
2014. The solicitation is available at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13608/nsf13608.htm

disaster mitigation, biodiversity, water, and renewable energy
Stupid Faculty Tricks
As UCR aspires to enter the AAU, it is worthwhile to
examine other universities for best practices. It is equally worthwhile
to avoid worst practices. Here’s one to avoid. The University of
Oregon has repaid the government $330,000 as a result of fake overtime in order
to get around a salary freeze. Details at http://www.oregonlive.com/education/index.ssf/2013/10/university_of_oregon_employees.html

Distinguished Speaker
Joachim Kohn: Combinatorial Biomaterials Design
Combinatorial Biomaterials Design as a Driver of
Innovation in Regenerative Medicine and
Commercialization.
Joachim Kohn, Ph.D. FBSE
Director, the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials
Board of Governors Professor, Rutgers, the State
University of New Jersey
Wednesday, Nov 20 @ 4:10PM
Bourns A125
To be clinically useful,
biomaterials must fulfill a wide range of complex design criteria, making it
difficult to use simple "trial and error” to discover truly optimal
materials for medical applications. To address this challenge, we
developed the combinatorial-computational method (CCM) for biomaterials design
and discovery. This approach was used in the discovery of an optimized,
new polymer for use in coronary stents. It was recognized early on that
the ideal coronary stent should be fully resorbable. But, since metals
were the only materials that had the physicomechanical properties required for
stent manufacture, stents became non-degradable, permanent implants. The
key design challenge for a resorbable polymer stent was to discover a polymer
composition that combined 4 key characteristics within one single
material: Radio-opacity (to make the stent visible by X-ray), high
mechanical strength, toughness, and creep resistance (required for the stent to
function properly), strength retention for several months followed by
degradation and resorption within about 1-2 years, and biocompatibility (in
particular inflammation-free integration into vascular tissue) of the polymer
and its degradation products. We developed a combinatorial polymer design
strategy that lead to the discovery of a suitable polymer composition.
This polymer enabled REVA Medical to produce the world's first X-ray
visible and fully resorbable coronary stent. This stent is currently in
final clinical trials. The CCM was also used in several research projects
sponsored by the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine where new
biomaterials design resulted in the development of tissue scaffolds for craniomaxillofacial
reconstruction, innovative treatments for burn victims, and conduits for nerve
regeneration.
Currently four companies use
polymer systems that were discovered using the CCM and over 40,000 patients
benefit from medical devices that were made possible by these polymers.
The commercialization of these polymer-based inventions provides examples
for successful private-public partnerships and technology transfer from
academia to industry.
BIO:
Joachim Kohn, PhD, Board of
Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University is
a research entrepreneur, a multi-disciplinary translational scientist, and a
national leader in the development of regenerative medicine. In 1997, Kohn
founded the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials, which has grown into a
collaborative network spanning 25 institutions and 40 laboratories. As a
translational scientist, Kohn has 54 issued US Patents on novel biomaterials
and seven companies have licensed his technologies. He has raised about $100M
in research funding at Rutgers and helped four licensees to raise almost $200M
in private capital.
In 2007, Professor Kohn was
inducted into the New Jersey High-Tech Hall of Fame. He is the recipient
of numerous awards and honors, including the prestigious Thomas Alva Edison
Patent Award for best patent in New Jersey in the category of medical research,
once in 1999 for his invention of tyrosine-derived polycarbonates, and once in
2006 for his invention of the first combinatorially designed library of
polyarylates.
Professor Kohn's research
interests focus on the development of new biomaterials. He pioneered the use of
combinatorial and computational methods for the optimization of biomaterials
for specific medical applications. He is mostly known for his seminal work on
"pseudo-poly(amino acid)s"- a new class of polymers that combine the
non-toxicity of individual amino acids with the strength and process ability of
high-quality engineering plastics. Medical devices using these materials have
been implanted in more than 40,000 patients.
