Exciting Updates from ACT-CMS: Faculty Fellowship Applications and Upcoming Events

Accelerating Curricular Transformation in the Computational Molecular Sciences (ACT-CMS) is an education and faculty development program from MolSSI. The goal of ACT-CMS is to transform science curricula by accelerating the integration of programming and computation into existing molecular science courses through faculty training and the development of open and reusable curricular modules.

If you’re passionate about revolutionizing how computational molecular science is taught, there’s a lot happening in ACT-CMS this February that you won’t want to miss!

Faculty Fellowship Applications Now Open

The Faculty Fellows Program is the cornerstone of ACT-CMS. A Faculty Fellowship lasts two years and is awarded to a molecular science educator developing curricula integrating programming and computation into existing science courses. Through the two-year program, faculty will receive curriculum development and assessment training and will upskill their programming and computational skills. They will produce a reusable curriculum module that uses programming and computation to teach STEM concepts in an existing course that they teach. 

Applications for the Faculty Fellowship Program are now open!
