Opportunity Summary:
The High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Department of the Army, Materiel Command, administered through the Army Research Office (ARO). It was designed as a pilot youth science initiative to support hands-on STEM apprenticeships for high school juniors and seniors. The core idea is to place promising students into real, university-based research settings where they can participate in structured research activities and gain early exposure to scientific and engineering work that reflects how research is actually conducted.
Under HSAP, participating students work under the direct guidance of mentors who are already ARO-sponsored principal investigators. In other words, this program does not create brand-new research labs or standalone youth programs; instead, it leverages existing ARO-funded university research projects and integrates high school apprentices into those environments. The goal is to provide meaningful apprenticeship experiences in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics by embedding students in active research efforts where they can learn methods, tools, and professional practices, while being supervised by established researchers already funded by ARO.
Eligibility is narrowly defined and targeted. The competition is open only to existing single-investigator ARO grant recipients whose awards were made under an ARO Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). In addition, the underlying ARO grant must have at least 12 months remaining in its period of performance at the time the HSAP proposal is submitted. This requirement ensures the host research project will still be active long enough to support and supervise the apprentice experience without the research effort ending midstream.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching. The published award amount indicates an award ceiling of $360,000 and an award floor of $360,000, which implies a fixed award size for this opportunity as posted in the announcement data. The opportunity was originally posted on October 14, 2009, with creation dated January 13, 2010. The original closing date was December 31, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of January 27, 2010, and it was archived on February 26, 2010.
For applicants or institutions needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Mr. Ernie Dixon, Procurement Analyst, reachable by phone at 919-549-4270 or by email at ernie.dixon@us.army.mil.
High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) Grant FAQs
What is the High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP)?
The High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Department of the Army, Materiel Command, administered through the Army Research Office (ARO). It was designed as a pilot youth science initiative to support hands-on STEM apprenticeships for high school juniors and seniors.
What is the main purpose of HSAP?
The program aims to place promising high school students into real, university-based research settings where they can take part in structured research activities. The intent is early exposure to scientific and engineering work in environments that reflect how research is actually conducted.
Who are the intended student participants?
HSAP is focused on high school juniors and seniors who will participate as apprentices in STEM-related research activities.
Where do the apprenticeship activities take place?
Apprenticeships are designed to occur in university-based research settings by integrating high school students into active university research efforts supported by ARO.
Does HSAP fund new labs or create standalone youth programs?
No. HSAP does not create brand-new research labs or standalone youth programs. It leverages existing ARO-funded university research projects and embeds high school apprentices into those environments.
Who mentors the high school apprentices?
Students work under the direct guidance of mentors who are already ARO-sponsored principal investigators (PIs). The apprentices are integrated into research environments led by established researchers funded by ARO.
What types of activities are apprentices expected to do?
Apprentices participate in structured research activities within active STEM research efforts. They are expected to gain exposure to research methods, tools, and professional practices while working under supervision in a real research setting.
Who is eligible to apply for the HSAP grant?
Eligibility is limited. The competition is open only to existing single-investigator ARO grant recipients whose awards were made under an ARO Broad Agency Announcement (BAA).
Are institutions or researchers without an existing ARO BAA award eligible?
No. Based on the posted eligibility rules, only existing single-investigator ARO grant recipients with awards made under an ARO BAA are eligible to compete.
Does the existing ARO grant need to have time remaining?
Yes. The underlying ARO grant must have at least 12 months remaining in its period of performance at the time the HSAP proposal is submitted.
Why is the 12-month remaining period-of-performance requirement included?
The stated reason is to ensure the host research project will remain active long enough to support and supervise the apprentice experience, rather than ending in the middle of the apprenticeship effort.
What is the funding instrument for HSAP?
The funding instrument is a grant.
What is the activity category for this opportunity?
The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
