SUMMARY:RCE Asia-Pacific SDG Youth Challenge 2020: EOI Open Now!
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 RCE SDG Youth Challenge ‘Youth for the Goals’ is an exciting and unique youth-led initiative focused on delivering the SDGs at a local level. This year\, the Challenge will be focusing on SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities\, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production\, and SDG 15: Life on Land. Projects are welcome from any RCEs interested in participating. \nConceived by Asia-Pacific youth leaders at RCE Greater Western Sydney (Australia) and RCE Yogyakarta (Indonesia)\, the Challenge uses a peer-to-peer learning model coupled with virtual mentoring support to empower and enable youth leaders to engage with each other and to deliver grassroots projects that matter to them and their communities. \nThe Challenge invites young people to get empowered and engaged in their local communities and RCE networks. Youth are invited to either create their own or build on an existing project\, with support from their RCE or an organisation\, that will make a difference for them\, their community\, and the planet. Projects could include creating a video documentary\, youth camps\, leadership programme\, school workshops\, clean-up events\, art installations and more – the choice is yours as long as it is in line with the Challenge theme (SDG 11\, 12 and/or 15\, underpinned by SDG 4). Projects must be led by a youth lead (35 years or younger)\, can be run by an individual or team (team doesn’t have to be youth exclusively) who are committed to the project from February – October 2020. \nTo date\, the challenge has engaged directly with over 19\,000 youth and delivered 39 individual sustainability youth-led projects across nine countries. In 2018\, the focus was on SDGs 13 and 14\, whilst in 2019\, it was SDGs 1\, 6 and 10 – all underpinned by SDG 4. \nFind out more and download the flyer here. \nTo participate\, submit an expression of interest here. The deadline is 25 January\, 2020.

SUMMARY:2020 Nature in Neighborhoods nature education and outdoor experiences grants
DESCRIPTION:Greater Portland voters approve $475 million Metro parks and nature bond measure\nVoters across greater Portland on Tuesday approved a renewal of Metro’s parks and nature bond measure\, which will raise $475 million to protect clean water\, restore fish and wildlife habitat and provide opportunities for people to enjoy nature close to home. \n  \nMeasure 26-203 is passing 67% to 33%\, according to election results from Clackamas\, Multnomah and Washington counties. The measure does not raise taxes and instead renews the current property tax rate of $0.19 per $1\,000 of assessed value. It costs about $4 a month for a home assessed at $250\,000. \nMoney from the bond measure will support six program areas: land purchase and restoration\, improvements at Metro parks\, Nature in Neighborhoods capital grants\, “local share” money to support local park providers\, walking and biking trails\, and complex community projects\, such as providing public access to Willamette Falls. \n  \nAll projects supported with bond money are required to prioritize community engagement\, racial equity and climate resiliency. People of color\, Indigenous community members and other people historically left out of parks and nature work shared their input to shape the development of the bond measure. \nFor more detail:  https://www.oregonmetro.gov/news/greater-portland-voters-approve-475-million-metro-parks-and-nature-bond-measure \n  \n2020 Nature in Neighborhoods nature education and outdoor experiences grants \nExpected January 2020 Deadline \nHave you applied for a past Nature in Neighborhoods nature education and outdoor experiences grant? We would love to reconnect with you and talk about what you’ve observed and learned. \n  \nMetro staff is starting to brainstorm for the next grant cycle\, the 2020 Nature in Neighborhoods nature education and outdoor experiences grants. Grant applications may be due in January 2020 for around $700\,000 in total funding. \n  \nIf you haven’t already\, could you please help us by completing this quick\, five-minute survey about the grants? Find it here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018NINgrants \n  \nWould you have time to join us for coffee and snacks at Metro? If so\, we have set up two group meetings to listen and discuss the next round of grants: \n\nWednesday\, November 13 from 4 to 5 p.m. in room 601 at Metro\, 600 NE Grand Avenue\nWednesday\, November 13 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in room 370 at Metro\, 600 NE Grand Avenue

SUMMARY:NEH and Department of Education award $650\,000 to iCivics
DESCRIPTION:The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education (ED)\, has awarded a $650\,000 cooperative agreement to the civics education group iCivics to lead a coalition of experts in assessing the state of\, and best practices in\, the teaching of American history\, civics\, and government in K-12 education. \nEducating for American Democracy: A Roadmap for Excellence in History and Civics Education for All Learners will bring together more than 100 leading academics and practitioners in education\, civics\, history\, and political science for convenings at Louisiana State University and Arizona State University to evaluate the current state of history and civics curricula across the country. Informed by these discussions\, the group will issue a “roadmap for excellence” that would outline for teachers\, schools\, and district and state policy-makers high-priority civic content areas\, and recommend instructional strategies and best practices for integrating the teaching of civics and history at every grade level. \nThis roadmap and accompanying report on the convenings’ findings will be released prior to a national forum in September 2020 in Washington\, D.C.\, co-hosted by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History and the National Archives and Records Administration Foundation. \n“As the United States looks toward our 250th anniversary as a nation in 2026\, it is critical that our K-12 educational system teaches the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and the democratic principles on which the country was founded\,” said NEH Chairman Jon Parrish Peede. “The National Endowment for the Humanities is pleased to be working with the Educating for American Democracy team to identify ways to improve the teaching and learning of American history and government so that all students gain an appreciation of the workings of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy.” \nThe Educating for American Democracy project is a partnership between the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University\, the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University\, Tufts University Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement and Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life\, and iCivics\, the country’s largest civic education provider. \nThe Educating for American Democracy project responds to an NEH-Education Department call for proposals for a fifteen-month project that would highlight innovative approaches\, learning strategies\, and professional development practices in K-12 civics education\, with an emphasis on activities and programs that benefit low-income and underserved populations. \n“Educating for American Democracy is an effort to provide guidance for integrating history and civics so that today’s learners form a strong connection to our constitutional democracy—and take ownership of it\,” said Louise Dubé\, Executive Director of iCivics. “We are very thankful that this cooperative agreement with NEH/ED will give our team of experts\, academics\, and practitioners the opportunity to design a trans-partisan roadmap for excellence in history and civics education.” \nThe iCivics Educating for American Democracy cooperative agreement is funded through a partnership between NEH’s Division of Education Programs and the U.S. Department of Education’s American History and Civics Education-National Activities program and is part of NEH’s newly announced “More Perfect Union” initiative focused on the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. \n\n\n\n\n\nNational Endowment for the Humanities: Created in 1965 as an independent federal agency\, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports research and learning in history\, literature\, philosophy\, and other areas of the humanities by funding selected\, peer-reviewed proposals from around the nation. Additional information about the National Endowment for the Humanities and its grant programs is available at: www.neh.gov.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nU.S. Department of Education (ED): ED’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. Find more at www.ed.gov \n \n\n\n\nEducating for American Democracy Project Team:  \nThe School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University blends a liberal arts education with civic education to prepare 21st century leaders for American and international affairs\, balancing study of classic ideas with outside-the-classroom learning experiences.  The School also provides civic education programs such as a podcast (Keeping It Civil)\, the Arizona Constitution Project\, and the Civic Discourse Project – a national-caliber speakers program partnering with Arizona PBS to provide a space for civil discourse on pressing issues.  https://scetl.asu.edu/ \nThe Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University seeks to strengthen teaching and research about pressing ethical issues; to foster sound norms of ethical reasoning and civic discussion; and to share the work of our community in the public interest. The Center stands at the core of a well-established movement giving ethics a prominent place in the curriculum and on research agendas at Harvard and throughout the world. The Center’s Democratic Knowledge Project is a K-16 civic education provider that seeks to identify and disseminate the bodies of knowledge\, capacities\, and skills that democratic citizens need in order to build and sustain healthy\, thriving democracies. https://ethics.harvard.edu/ \nTufts University’s Tisch College of Civic Life and Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement: The only university-wide college of its kind\, the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University studies and promotes the civic and political engagement of young people at Tufts University\, in our communities\, and in our democracy.

REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1) REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. REU Sites may be based in a single discipline or academic department or may offer interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. (2) REU Supplements may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements or may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects. \nWho May Submit Proposals: \nThe categories of proposers eligible to submit proposals to the National Science Foundation are identified in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide(PAPPG)\, Chapter I.E. \nWho May Serve as PI: \nFor REU Site proposals\, a single individual may be designated as the Principal Investigator. This individual will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the award. However\, one additional person may be designated as Co-Principal Investigator if developing and operating the REU Site would involve such shared responsibility. Other anticipated research supervisors should be listed as Non-Co-PI Senior Personnel. After a proposal is awarded\, some NSF units may allow the addition of more Co-PIs if an exceptional case can be made for why the management of the REU Site must be distributed. \nLimit on Number of Proposals per Organization: \nThere are no restrictions or limits on the number of proposals per organization except forthe following: NSF Centers or National Facilities managed by NSF’s Division of Materials Research (DMR) that have an active REU Site may not request additional support for a new Site or an expansion of their existing Site. (For questions\, e-mail reu.dmr@nsf.gov.) \nRead more here: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2019/nsf19582/nsf19582.htm?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc_ev=click
