Review / Rate ProjectA proposed e Project Based Service Learning pilot would preserve course projects in online galleries, invite peer feedback and revisions, and connect suitable work with community causes and sponsors. Mathematics would be the starting point, with other subjects and institutions as possible later partners. The original 2020–2021 proposal requested $98,000. That is a historical estimate requiring repricing. The current aim is to obtain institutional review and design a feasible pilot. A possible route to textbook support needs a defined funding and distribution mechanism; it is not part of the original budget and no student earnings are promised.
Students who can reuse their work in portfolios, learn from peers, and build on earlier projects; faculty developing reusable teaching resources; community organizations contributing suitable problems. Potential textbook assistance remains to be designed.
Dr. Z reports submitting the proposal to campus leadership at Keiser University, where he taught mathematics and physics. To his knowledge, it was not forwarded to Central Office or submitted to the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. This is a case of a proposal stalled internally, rather than a foundation rejection. A revised discussion draft was prepared on October 31, 2026. Institutional sponsorship, current costs, and funder eligibility remain to be confirmed.
Constructive review
Consider the project before reading other reviews. What is promising? What needs evidence? What could the author try next?
Three independent scores, each from 1 to 5. This is our community rubric, informed by established proposal review criteria. A useful local project can have high impact; a familiar idea can still be valuable. These scores are not a funding decision.
What is new or meaningfully adapted compared with existing approaches?
If successful, how meaningful would the benefit be for the people or problem identified?
Can a useful first version be tested with a credible plan, time, budget, and skills?
Reference frameworks: NSF merit review · NIH review framework. Our scoring scale is an adaptation, not either agency’s official rubric.
Voluntary feedback reflects these respondents, not a representative survey. Unrated dimensions are not counted as zero.
No reviews yet. A thoughtful first review can help this project find its next step.
