Description

The International Science and Education Competitive Grants Program (ISE) supports research, extension, and teaching activities that will enhance the capabilities of American colleges and universities to conduct international collaborative research, extension and teaching. ISE projects are expected to enhance the international content of curricula; ensure that faculty work beyond the U.S. and bring lessons learned back home; promote international research partnerships; enhance the use and application of foreign technologies in the U.S.; and strengthen the role that colleges and universities play in maintaining U.S. competitiveness.

This film, by an astronomer Dr. Carolyn Brinkworth, is a great way to simply explain what happens to the earth when the sun eventually dies. Children are endless balls of questions and this is one of the best short video clips I've come across as a teacher that explains how it all works.

Scroll down to see video. (I hope this works, I tried one last night and inadvertantly didn't do it correctly, so hope you can all see this).

 I am struggling to survive. I was enrolled in a PhD program and after putting in 5 years my advisor did some very unethical things and took her racist views out on me. As a result, I had no choice but to leave the lab and the school with a MS degree. I incurred a lot of student loans and health care costs for what I was put through. Now I am trying to start over but I have lost my faith in academia and higher education in the sciences. I am working as a technician in a lab but my pay is barely enough to survice. I have to commute a total of 3-4 hours daily to go to work and I have an old car which may not make it much longer. It makes me nervous to drive at night and during bad weather conditions. If anyone can offer any suggestions on how I can make some additional money to get by or would be generous enough to loan me some I would really appreciate it.

I am looking for funding to continue to build exhibits, curiculum, teacher training, etc. for a traveling museum for education in science, specifically light and sound.

Hello.  I am a full time student majoring in microbiology at the University of South Florida.  I have had some health issues in the past couple of months  that have left me financially unable to satisfy monthly bills in their entirety.  With my school schedule I do not have time to commit to a job and keeping my head above water scholastically and financially is a constant struggle.  If I could maintain a stable financial foundation, I could fully reach my potential as a student and hopefully give a higher quality contribution to the science community upon my graduation.

My name is Annette Ryder, I am a 51 year old separated single parent of two sons, nearly 18 and 14, and two daughers, 12, and 10. My oldest just graduated from high school, and wants to go into some kind of engineering or computer training. His brother is an entering freshman, eager to teach, serve and lead--he does all three well. These two are precocious in their maturity, and have been a great help to me in trying to support my efforts to keep our family together and functioning well. They have also given up a great deal of their time, socially and otherwise, in trying to be my assistants; their father, my now estranged husband, has had increasing difficulty holding a job, relating socially, etc. He left the home last year, under the cloud of a restraining order after verbally threatening my life and safety repeatedly, even in the earshot of his "dearly loved daughters". He is undergoing therapy and taking the domestic violence requirements to lift the restraining order; there is some progress toward sanity. The damage has been done, however, and we are beginning to see some hope again establishing a normal life and a new sense of relationship between us.

My oldest son is not attending college, in part because this year has been a great strain on him, and he wants to take some time away to "get his life together", work, maybe go into the military for a short "hitch", or take some classes in order to transfer to a local college. My younger son, very gifted in math and science, wants to work to help advance his education and go after his goals to attend a private college either in Washington or California. These two, as well as my younger daughters, have had to sacrifice happiness, dreams, ambitions and much of what should have been a happy childhood in dealing with difficulties at home. I am determined, whether I remain married to this man in recovery or not, to do all I can to bring hope back into this household and help them achieve their dreams as best as possible. They have brought me much joy, happiness and strength; I love them dearly and appreciate them greatly. We have no blood kin in my family to turn to for help in this way, and my husband's family may not be able to help us either.

Thank you for what assistance you can give, even in listening to my story.

I would love to attend school as a full-time student.  Currently, I am working to support my mother and myself while attending school.  My goal is to study medicine and pharmacology so that I may one day help to research and develop new drugs and medical therapies.  I am a responsible, hardworking student who just needs a chance to focus on school.  I want to make a difference in the world; a good education is the first step.
