UC|CSU Module Development Team Awardees

The UC|CSU Collaborative for Neuroscience, Diversity, and Learning is excited to announce the 2024 Module Development Team Awardees!

In February 2024, the UC|CSU Collaborative opened an request for proposals (RFP) to UC and CSU interdisciplinary faculty teams to develop modules that will be hosted on our new Learning Management System (LMS), Arraya.
