Rogers Executive VP, WXXI Public Broadcasting Council WXXI srogerswxxi.org,14,Earth & Environmental Sciences,As a member of the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI). This is a “vi

17、rtual institute“ consisting of 15 “teams“ around the country, and a handful of international affiliates. The NAIs aim is to foster research aimed at: How does life begin and evolve? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe? What is the future of life on Earth and beyond? The NAI website can be found

18、at http:/www.nai.arc.nasa.gov/. The NAI is supposed to pioneer (by example) the use of cutting-edge technology in fostering research and teaching connections- the concept of a “virtual institute“.Im wondering if it would be possible to develop a project or set of projects as part of this Center prop

19、osal that would leverage my connection to the NAI. For example, we might seek to develop some curricular approaches that would be of interest to a “virtual institute“ and that would be grounded in sound understanding of how students actually learn. Related to this is that astrobiology is inherently

20、multi-disciplinary/integrative. So this is also a topic that can be used to motivate students to learn basic science concepts in an exciting manner. I do not know if theyve been grounded in solid pedagogical understanding, so there may be a role for the proposed Center to develop this notion indepen

The RFP states t

22、hat “Additional funds of up to $50,000 per catalyst proposal may be included “, but the way it is written does not give me a good feeling that a proposal would be significantly strengthened by the addition of international collaborators.I think we have to be careful with the inclusion of internation
