The Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE:EHR) program housed within the National Science Foundation’s Division of Undergraduate Education has undergone a variety of changes since its previous incarnations as the Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) program and then the Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM (TUES) program.  The evolution of these programs can be traced through request for proposal documents formally known as program solicitations.  Similarly, the community’s uptake and integration of changes outlined in revised solicitations may be traced through the abstracts of awarded projects.  Through analysis of changes presented in solicitations and commensurate changes in award abstracts, this research hopes to measure the lag time associated with community uptake of changes expressed in program solicitations and shed light on the nature of this uptake.
