PALM Network Grants (Promoting Active Learning and Mentoring)

About this program

The PALM (Promoting Active Learning and Mentoring) Network, led by the American Society for Cell Biology and funded by NSF RCN-UBE grant #1624200, provides mentorship grants to help instructors adopt and improve active-learning practices in undergraduate classrooms. Awards pair fellows with experienced active-learning mentors and provide up to $2,000 per fellow, plus a $500 mentor stipend and $1,000 meeting-travel allowance each for fellow and mentor. Postdoctoral researchers seeking teaching mentorship and faculty members interested in bringing active-learning strategies into their courses are eligible to apply via ASCB; consult PALM/ASCB for application details, deadlines, and any institutional or membership requirements.
