NSF Grant Inquiry 

RE: [EXTERNAL] - Re: ISSIP-NSF Workshop 2 - Industry Best Practices for Skills Screening starting now

Dear Alex, and Stephanie,

Happy New Year! 

And thanks so much for your email, and support, and overview. World University & School (WUaS) is seeking funding, yes! 

But CC-4 ocw.mit.edu -centric wiki World Univ & Sch is also a newby to the NSF and welcomes greatly your potential role as an educational consultant, Stephanie. (Unfortunately, WUaS has so little money that I'm afraid WUaS wouldn't be able to compensate you, but would seek to raise money to even hire graduate students to write grants in the future, for example, and brainstorming-wise). That being said, and for your information, I'm attaching 2 pieces of a NSF grant proposal from 2018 regarding a very very early attempt at WUaS grant writing, and submitted through Grants.gov, but which only made it part way through this process (I think WUaS had trouble getting a DUNS number), if I remember correctly, (and which DUNS number may no longer be relevant to the process). I'll begin to look through the NSF website in some of the ways you suggested, Alex, and would welcome any guidance you might have, which process seems a bit like a labyrinth, and labor intensive as well. I'll begin to look through these in particular - https://nsf.gov/news/overviews/education/ - and - https://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=DUE - but welcome greatly any guidance in where to even begin this search process, with these URLs or otherwise. Thank you.

As you may know, and FYI, WUaS is developing 1) a degree granting side, for free-to-students' online Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, and IB high school degrees (due to the CC-4 licensing of OCW.MIT.EDU, which is in 4 languages, and in each of all ~200 countries and in their main languages, eventually, as well as 2) wiki schools for open teaching and learning, and in all 7,139 known living languages. Here's an example of a wiki subject page on Grant Writing itself - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Grant_writing (accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) with these 2 MIT OCW resources - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Grant_writing#Select_References - but no OCW.MIT.EDU courses for credit, and to give you some idea of how wiki WUaS works.  Thank you again, so much! 

All the best, 

Scott

These WUaS Minutes from WUaS Monthly Business Meeting were just posted on 1/1/22 - 

https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2022/01/121821-wuas-minutes-for-open-monthly.html - and might, with this blog too, be relevant for helping with starting places in the NSF grant writing process. Thank you!

Very helpful, Alex, 

Thanks so much - and for your engagement! One recent suggestion (in mid-December, through ISSIP where I met Stephanie) was to become a co-author, or similar, on a proposal with (the example suggested was) Stanford and San Jose State University, I could try to follow up on how I might become a volunteer - "volunteer [my] time to be a reviewer"- with this possible proposal, if it's in the works, and with the NSF.  I'll look for other opportunities too to become a reviewer too, and welcome your suggestions especially.

As soon as WUaS is up and running with sizable matriculating free Bachelor degree classes (120 units over 4 years), - and WUaS is glad to be collaborating with Google in these regards just today anew with - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/course/z33wpz - a new CC-4 licensed course via - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - which WUaS is calling 'CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch - 2022 spring' - WUaS will seek to make our free Bachelor degrees available to students in all 50 US states, and in each of their counties too especially. 

So if the opportunity arises, WUaS would develop a "project that benefits US students and what the research questions are," where one possible direction for research is what we can learn in adding the ~2400 CC-4 MIT OCW courses in English (undergraduate and graduate) to emerging MOOC platforms in Google, like https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home (and for example the Grow with Google courses as platforms too - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/11/112021-wuas-minutes.html - and see Minute 3 from the 11'20/21 Monthly Business Meeting Minutes). 

Thanks so much for the heads' up about never using Grants.gov - much appreciated. 

Stephanie, thoughts about this, and potentially proceeding? 

Best regards, 

Scott

Dear Alex, and Stephanie, 

Thanks so much for your emails yesterday, Alex! I was glad to come across your ISSIP presentation again this morning, Alex, too, and wonder if World Univ & Sch might actually write a NSF proposal to this, if such an NSF grant proposal opportunity exists. That written, I looked up the NSF Proposal possibility, which WUaS had submitted part of before, I think), and found this, I'm glad to write too -

... from both: 

Accelerating Discovery: Educating the Future STEM Workforce

https://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=DUE

https://nsf.gov/news/overviews/education/

Here following is your ISSIP panel presentation, and I'm particularly interested in the virtual learning environments you mention at the close of your talk, and regarding WUaS planning to facilitate a single realistic virtual earth for Classrooms, and as STEM field sites, and for genetics and everything (eg see some of these #hashtags here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1478416299713699841?s=20 - and it's possible to find other related #RealisticVirtualEarth #Hashtags, eg here  https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click - on Twitter, and think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate, and at the cellular and molecular levels too, and even for avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Pin #, and in the online WUaS Medical School(s) and online Teaching Hospital (s)) -

"ISSIP NSF Workshop Nov 10, 2021, Long Term Impact of COVID 19 on Work, Learning, and Skills" 

https://youtu.be/_rK9IANvjQg - Nov 10, 2021 - 

Alexandra Medina-Borja at 10:50) 

I followed up with Jim Spohrer this morning if I could volunteer to be a reviewer of a possible Stanford-San Jose State University-(WUaS?) NSF proposal that I recall being mentioned as potentially in the works. It's a great suggestion, Alexandra, and I'm also seeking for World Univ & Sch to potentially write a NSF proposal, perhaps with Stephanie as the professional writer of this, in part (since you've also worked at the NSF in these regards, Stephanie, and if you might be available). I haven't heard back yet from Jim Spohrer if Stanford-San Jose State University-(WUaS?) NSF proposal is moving forward, and regarding whom I might contact to inquire if I might volunteer to be a reviewer.

Happy New Year! Glad to be in communication with you as ISSIP Panelists, Alex, and Stephanie, too! Am seeking too to learn the language of the NSF and thank you!

Best, Scott

Anyone messing with the genetics of senescence

Scott: 

Definitely suggested here: "How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?"

https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk - 

in a minute-long interview with Harvard and MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church (who's also a bit of an old hippy to say the least ... and has the largest laboratory at Harvard Medical Schoo:)

Scott: 

Am assuming you can see videos on your smartphone, Sandy ... can you? Warm greetings, Scotty (& Happy New Year ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/12/euphorbia-heterophylla-wild-poinsetta.html)

Scott:

$15 dose per month at Walmart in a couple of years, am a Google fan re Android Os Pixel Smartphone, but it's amazing that 6.4 billion people on planet have smart phones (according to Google) ... Ongoing seeking of a life partner and to begin a family (a 20 something yo MD?) ... having babies is the only unbroken line back to the beginning of life 3.5 billion years ago (would you like to meet someone and have kids if aging reversal genetic drug therapies emerge thanks or no thanks to science), my cousin Sandy? Warmly Scotty
