One thing that the SPICE project is focusing on is creating resources that can be used for years to come and that can be used outside of the specific ITYC call (though as a dedicated two-year track, this is where 2Y math faculty should apply). One of the ways we’re doing that is by creating Treasure Hunts. These treasure hunts take you through different parts of the process one at a time, and then we have both asynchronous discussion forums and a synchronous virtual debrief. Though the synchronous events happen one time (for now), the discussion forums persist and anyone who comes to the group can do the work and continue the discussion at any time.
Grant writing is a complicated process that has many aspects often hidden from the casual observer, and we are trying to lift the fog. As we move forward in the project, we will be both working with faculty to write grant proposals and updating resources with input from the community. We would love you to join us, and our second Treasure Hunt will be launching soon! Join us at spice.qubeshub.org.
