What do DUE reviewers look for? Many of the same things that reviewers in the research directorates look for. Innovative ideas that can potentially have broad application in other settings Partnerships/collaborations A well-developed and detailed plan with timeline Knowledge of the field - what’s been done Knowledge of what NSF has funded Knowledge of the discipline (education) literature
4
References for Proposals Articles resulting from prior NSF awards White papers from NSF-funded science education research centers National reports on science education Journal articles on science education research in disciplines and from colleges of education National Academies Press publications Papers from conference proceedings (i.e. Frontiers in Education - Engineering)
5
Where to Look Most can be accessed electronically Google (choose search terms wisely) Science Education journals: Biology, Chemistry, Geoscience, Physics, Math, Engineering, CompSci Library eJournals collection NSF Award Search (www.nsf.gov) DUE PIRS (Project Information Resourse System)

Google Search Follow the trail of links and citations… Google search terms: –"science education" journals –“chemical education” journals (“engineering…) – science education research – “physics education” bibliography Google Scholar –Search for your disciplinary education journal –Search for author names in Google (in quotes) –Note links to citations - find new authors

Other Google or Google Scholar searches: Biology education Biology education university Biology education university teaching "Journal of Chemical Education" molecular visualization
