Description: The National Science Foundation released the program solicitation for NSDL for fiscal year 2008 last week. Proposals are due by June 27 in four tracks: Pathways, Services, Targeted Research, and a NSDL Resource Center. Proposals for small grants that extend or enhance efforts supported by awards from all tracks except the Resource Center will also be accepted. "It was quite a relief to see the NSDL solicitation," said Kaye Howe, co-PI of NSDL's Core Integration division. "It gives the community the means to build on what we've accomplished and continue the momentum of the Pathways. There are some genuine challenges in making this work, but we all know how important the work is and that we must keep NSDL moving forward on behalf of STEM education."
