APPLICATION DUE DATE-WEDNESDAY: NSF Funding Opportunity: Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program)

On behalf of Research Development

The NSF HSI program aims to enhance the quality of undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and to increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of students pursuing associates or baccalaureate degrees in STEM. Projects must include strategies that support building capacity at the University through innovative approaches: to incentivize institutional and community transformation; to promote fundamental research (i) on engaged student learning, (ii) about what it takes to diversify and increase participation in STEM effectively, and (iii) that improves our understanding of how to build institutional capacity at HSIs. The outcomes of the HSI Program include broadening the participation of historically underrepresented students in STEM and expanding students' pathways to continued STEM education and integration into the STEM workforce. The program accepts proposals in three tracks; however, faculty members at our University have been most successful with the Track 2 program. Track 2 or Implementation and Evaluation Projects (IEP) supports the implementation of the evidence-based unit-, department-, or multi-department-level activities that will enhance the quality of undergraduate STEM education. These projects may design and implement a new educational practice or practices and/or adapt/replicate evidence-based practices that are already known to be effective. In addition to the core research of the proposed project, all tracks may support faculty research that is inter-, multi-, or trans-disciplinary, discipline-specific research, STEM education research, discipline-based STEM education research, or broadening participation research. Research may be based at their home institution, an NSF-funded research center, another institution of higher education, and/or a national laboratory. 2023 Application deadlines: February 8, 2023, and August 30, 2023.

New: Information Security: Malicious Online Templates

On behalf of Information Technology - Information Security

Bad actors are now buying Google Ads to get users directed to their fake websites. Their latest scheme is directed at hiding malicious software (malware) in online business-related documents and templates. Some of this malware can remotely access your computer, your home network, and our CSU Pueblo network.

At some point, we've all probably searched Google for business documents or templates. Things like Compliance checklists, Contract agreements, Questionnaires, Surveys, HR forms, Business Financial Forms, etc. can save time and educate us. Bad actors are now offering these types of business templates on their fake websites with their malware installed in the template or .zip files. When we download their template or .zip file, we land up installing their malware onto our computers.

Please do your due diligence and confirm the website you’re visiting and downloading documents from is legitimate. Otherwise, we could be installing really bad malware like Remote Access Trojans and Key Loggers.
