CIRTL will develop a national faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) committed to implementing and advancing effective teaching practices for diverse student audiences as part of their professional careers. Nearly 4000 institutions in the United States offer STEM undergraduate education. Their faculty come from graduate programs at only 100 research universities. These universities are leverage points for change in STEM undergraduate education. CIRTL will create, implement, and transfer to national research universities a program of graduate-through-faculty development in STEM higher education, founded on teaching-as-research concepts implemented within learning communities.
