Opportunity Summary:
The NIST Summer Institute for Middle School Science Teachers is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the participation of middle school science teachers in a two-week professional development program hosted on the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The program dates are July 18-29, 2011, and the overall purpose is to strengthen STEM teaching and learning by giving teachers direct exposure to real-world scientific and engineering work carried out in NIST laboratories. The institute is built around hands-on activities, lectures, guided tours, and structured visits with working NIST scientists and engineers, giving educators practical experiences they can translate back into classroom instruction for grades 6 through 8.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, indicating that NIST anticipates an active partnership role rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, and it is tied to CFDA number 11.609 (Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards). NIST expects to make up to 22 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $83,600. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligible applicants are U.S. public school districts and U.S. accredited private educational institutions that teach STEM fields at the middle school level (grades 6-8). The application structure is nomination-based: the institution or district applies and nominates teachers to attend, rather than individual teachers applying directly as the primary applicant. A key limitation is that each applicant organization may nominate no more than one teacher per school for participation in the program. In addition, nominated teachers must meet specific eligibility requirements described in the full funding announcement (referenced as Section III.1), so applicants need to confirm that each nominee satisfies those program rules before submitting.
The funding opportunity was posted and created on February 22, 2011. Applications had to be received by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, March 24, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on April 24, 2011.
