NSF Awards Grant to Support SENCER-ISE

The National Center for Science and Civic Engagement at Harrisburg University has just been awarded a one-year grant of $239,260 from the National Science Foundation to hold “SENCER-ISE,” an invitational conference that will create partnerships between formal and informal science educators to advance STEM learning through civic engagement. The conference, planned for late winter/early spring, will improve communication and expand collaboration between these two communities. David Burns is the principal investigator, Alan Friedman is the project director and informal science education coordinator, and Ellen Mappen will serve as the SENCER coordinator.





SENCER invites nominations and applications to the Leadership Fellows program. Applicants to the program have an interest in taking on new and significant roles to improve STEM learning and to connect that learning to matters of civic consequence.  Applications and nominations may be submitted at any time.  The next review of applications will begin on October 1, 2010.
