1. A five-year community effort to improve geoscience literacy and build a workforce prepared to tackle environmental and resource issues
InTeGrate supports the teaching of geoscience in the context of societal issues both within geoscience courses and across the undergraduate curriculum.
What is InTeGrate
An NSF STEP Center

3. Interdisciplinary Materials Development Teams
Modules or courses
that use a humanities or social science frame to teach about the Earth
that bring together geoscience, engineering, and sustainability
Developed and tested by teams with members from at least 3 institutions
2 year commitment to development, testing, revision and publication
Supported by assessment team member to meet design rubric, develop embedded assessments for use in testing
$15,000 stipend for each team member
requires a geoscientist and a non- geoscientist on the team
Materials development is the other big thing with opportunities right now. Empahsize that development is by teams with members from 3 institutions, that it is a 2 year commitents and that you have to be able/willing to use the materials in a course (or for the case of a course, teach the whole course) in the second year.

5. A five-year community effort to improve geoscience literacy and build a workforce prepared to tackle environmental and resource issues
Full information on the website. There is also a town hall meeting on Tuesday where you can learn more.
InTeGrate is a community effort – we hope you will be involved.

6. A Systems Model for Transformation of Individuals, Institutions, and the Geoscience Community
InTegrate builds on Cutting Edge and Building Strong Departments. It works at faculty/course scale and at the department/program scale. Both efforts are supported by professional development workshops and a website. Most of the activity in the first year has been on materials development and professional development. A year from now there will be small grants for program development.
