FEW Faculty Fellows Plan
The NSF grant for the INFEWS-ER includes support for the FEW Faculty Fellows Program. We have created different types of Faculty Fellows — Faculty Team Members and Faculty Leaders — who create Toolbox Modules and Cohort Challenges for the INFEWS-ER Virtual Resource Center and who participate in a Symposium to describe their preparation of those modules.
