About I³
Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) challenges faculty, students, and others in institutions of higher education, including two- and four-year colleges, to think strategically about the creative integration of NSF-funded awards, with particular emphasis on awards managed by programs in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR).
Goals of I3
- Increase synergy and collaboration across NSF-funded projects and within/between institutions
- Expand and deepen impact, and enhance sustainability
- Broaden participation, attend to transitions across critical educational junctures, and/or provide for more globally engaged workforce
- Promote innovative programming, policies and practices to encourage integration of STEM research and education
- Encourage research on intra- or inter-institutional integration & broader impacts
