Dear FUN members,

We are seeking your interest to support a collaborative NSF-IUSE grant proposal entitled “IUSE-AID: Collaborative Research: Neuroscience Education Consortium (NEDU): Advancing Undergraduate Scientific Literacy through Cloud Technology and Research Experience”. The proposal's main goal is to create a large consortium of undergraduate neuroscience educators who will be trained to develop, pilot, deliver, refine, and collectively integrate a system of original modules for undergraduate neuro- and data-science education. Such modules will be openly shared under creative common license so that everyone in the educational community in the USA and beyond will be able to choose within a large assortment of materials to use in their neuroscience, data science, biology and psychology courses. The modules will combine the advantages of big-data open science via an existing successful and user-friendly cloud-computing virtual environment (brainlife.io) and a consolidated CURE program to provide hands-on, problem-based learning in data neuroscience to every undergraduate student, especially the ones with no previous experience in neuroscience. A project summary is attached.

If funded, the project leadership team will hold 4 training workshops open to the neuroscience community. Please see attachment for a proposed CURE workshop schedule. The cost of attendance to these workshops will be fully covered by the grant. If you are potentially interested in participating in these workshops, could you please provide a letter of collaboration with your institution's letterhead and send it by July 10th to the project P.I. Franco Delogu, who is copied on this email? A LOC template is attached.

Thank you in advance for your interest and support.
