Science and Humanities: Integrating Undergraduate Education--In conjunction with the National Endowment for the Humanities' Division of Education programs, NSF is accepting proposals for the development of undergraduate courses and curricula that emphasize linking the study of the sciences and the humanities.
The programs goals are to develop new methods of teaching science and mathematics, to increase the awareness and recognition of the needs and capabilities of students with disabilities, to promote the accessibility and appropriateness of instructional materials and educational technologies, and to increase the availability of mentoring resources.
Current priorities are in five broad policy areas: participation in science, teacher supply and qualification, instructional and school practices, educational reform, and the role of science and mathematics skills in the workforce.

 Association for Women Geoscientists - AWG - Gender Equity
Results of focus groups conducted with geoscientists in 2001 indicate that nearly 40% of geoscientists cite "stumbling into a 100-level class" as the principle means of being attracted into the field (workshop report).
Part of the reason for this is lack of exposure to the field in high school, and the perception that Earth Science is the "dummy" science, the non college-track science in high school.
This last statement is patently false, as research by Elga Wassermann found that 2/3 of the women in the National Academy of Sciences have from 1 to 5 kids.

From the introduction: Investment Science is the application of scientific principles to investments.
The scientific tools used are primarily mathematical, but only a modest level of mathematics is required to understand the primary concepts discussed in this book.
The purpose of this book is to convey both the principles of investment science and an understanding of how these principles can be used in practice to make calculations that lead to good investment decisions.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent Federal agency, created by the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended (42 USC 1861-75).
NSF is generally structured by fields of science and engineering and science education but also considers activities that cross traditional fields by coordinating review across the Foundation.
Grant funds may not be used to augment the total salary or rate of salary of faculty members during the period covered by the term of faculty appointment or to reimburse faculty members for consulting or other time in addition to a regular full- time organizational salary covering the same general period of employment.
