The Chemistry Education Research mail list (i.e., cer@listserv.miamioh.edu) is moving to an ACS Division of Chemical Education service and will be managed/moderated by the Chemical Education Research committee.
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) seeks preproposals from higher education institutions for an NSF-funded project to create research-based undergraduate curricula in biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology. Twelve institutions and 24 departments will conduct fundamental research on student, faculty, departmental, and disciplinary influences on the process of integrating and scaffolding undergraduate research experiences throughout the curriculum.
