CCLI Program Solicitation: The CCLI program has changed substantially for FY
2006. The program has increased its emphasis on projects
that build on prior work and contribute to the knowledge base of undergraduate STEM education research and practice.
Projects should contribute to building a community of scholars who work in related areas of undergraduate education.
The revised program requires proposals to explicitly identify a set of measurable outcomes that will be used in the project management and evaluation.

CCLI Program Solicitation: The program will accept three types of proposals
representing different phases of development: Phase 1, Exploratory Projects with a total budget
up to $150,000 ($200,000 when four-year colleges and universities collaborate with two-year colleges) for 1 to 3 years;
Phase 2, Expansion Projects with a total budget up to $500,000 for 2 to 4 years;
Phase 3, Comprehensive Projects with a total budget up to $2,000,000 for 3 to 5 years.

CCLI Program Solicitation: To provide a framework for projects to maximize their
effectiveness on improving undergraduate STEM education, the program identified five components of a cyclic model of knowledge production and the improvement of practice. The program will accept proposals that may combine one, several, or all of the following components: Conducting research on undergraduate STEM
teaching and learning; Creating learning materials and teaching
strategies; Developing faculty expertise; Implementing educational innovations; Assessing learning and evaluating innovations.
