Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE)

NSF's Undergraduate Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology program has been abruptly archived. The deadline was tomorrow. People were submitting proposals.

This program is designed to support the American scientific workforce. I cannot see the point of this level of self-sabotage.

Hoping more science educators will join bluesky! @ncsce.bsky.social
