Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 NAWCAD STEM Education Grant (Funding Opportunity Number NAWCAD 13 1 0002) is a discretionary grant program run by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) through its education outreach efforts at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The purpose of the program is to strengthen and refresh STEM learning for students in grades 4 through 12 by supporting practical, hands-on experiences that connect classroom instruction to real-world science and engineering. The opportunity is specifically intended to encourage new ideas and added momentum in local STEM programs rather than general school funding, with an emphasis on activities that directly reinforce STEM curriculum.
Eligibility is narrowly focused. Applicants must be schools and/or Boards of Education located in Ocean County or Burlington County, New Jersey, and they must already have a formal Education Partnership Agreement with the NAWCAD Education Outreach Department in Lakehurst or have one pending at the time of application. In other words, the grant is designed for school partners who have an established (or in-progress) working relationship with NAWCAD Lakehurst, not for statewide or national applicants. The funding activity category is Education, and the funding instrument is a grant.
The program offers support in three main cost categories. First, schools can request funds for STEM-focused field trips to the Naval Air Systems Command Lakehurst facility, with allowable costs including student transportation, substitute teacher coverage if needed, and other related expenses tied to making the visit possible and educationally relevant. Second, the grant can cover costs for teachers to participate in STEM education programs or conferences, including travel (transportation, lodging, and per diem) and conference registration, which is meant to help educators bring updated methods and content back to their classrooms. Third, the grant can fund participation in robotics competitions during the 2013/2014 and/or 2014/2015 school years, covering registration fees and related costs. The announcement cites examples of eligible robotics programs such as FIRST, SeaPerch, and VEX (and notes that competitions are not limited to only those named), signaling an interest in project-based engineering experiences that build skills through design, testing, and teamwork.
Financially, the opportunity projected an estimated total of $40,000 in funding across all awards, with an anticipated eight awards. Individual awards were capped at $5,000 (award ceiling), and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for schools to participate and makes it more feasible for districts with limited discretionary budgets. The opportunity was originally posted May 23, 2013, created June 18, 2013, and had an original closing date of June 25, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of July 3, 2013.
