Coffee Break - Conducting Research on ATE projects

During this video, Beth Hawthorne discusses researching National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education (NSF ATE) funded projects and centers. Hawthorne demonstrates a simple search technique on the NSF website to find ATE funded projects and show advanced search strategies. Hawthorne, an NSF ATE Grant recipient, shares a method of narrowing down searches using keywords, refining by states, and sorting by start dates. The importance of finding resource centers like the National Cyberwatch Center and the Innovate ATE BIO National Biotech Education Center is emphasized. The goal is to provide helpful techniques for proposal preparation, encouraging viewers to explore further resources in the Mentor-Connect library and suggesting future topic ideas for coffee breaks.
