Summary

The KSU Program for Integrating Education and Research is an continuation of activities for which Kansas State University received a Recognition Award for the Integration of Research and Education (RAIRE) from the National Science Foundation. The KSU RAIRE award was for an activity which seems to be unique to KSU -- taking research ideas to in-service and pre-service teachers. Three projects were described in the award application.

We will use the award funds ($500,000) to continue similar types of activities. Our aim is to continue to concentrate on getting research ideas to pre-service and in-service teachers through hands-on activities and, perhaps, to expand and include similar activities in some of the general education courses.
