How to integrate with other NSF training programs

• What does NSF want?
• What does UF currently provide?

Look for holes in what UF provides (e.g.,
critical mass for GK-12)
Use evaluation data (CAPES)
Leave enough time to develop true partnerships
Focus on synergies common goals (e.g., ethics)
Ponder What is innovative?
Ask for help
Meet face-to-face with colleagues
