The RIEF program has two goals: 1) support research in the PFE and 2) increase the community of researchers conducting PFE research. This program is not intended for established researchers in engineering education or other social science fields to initiate new projects. PFE refers to the formal and informal education and value systems by which people become engineers. The RIEF program enables engineering faculty who are renowned for teaching, mentoring or leading educational reform efforts on their campus to develop expertise in conducting engineering education research. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education. All applications for this program are due on Thursday, February 23, 2017.

This funding opportunity announcement is from the Illinois Tech Fund Searching Services Team (FSST).
