The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) offers a number of programs that, in the aggregate, are a comprehensive approach to strengthening STEM education at two- and four-year colleges and universities. DUE programs support improving curricula, instruction, laboratories, infrastructure, assessment, diversity of both students and faculty, and increasingly, collaborations. Chemistry, often considered as the 'central science' in STEM, is a major contributor to advancing DUE's four goals of providing leadership, supporting curriculum development, preparing the workforce, and fostering connections. While DUE can provide the funding, it is the broad Chemistry community that allows the goals to be achieved. In addition to highlighting DUE's interests beyond the solicitations, the role that chemists play in the support of DUE and NSF will be featured.
