Opportunity Summary:
The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program is a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant opportunity designed to increase the number of highly qualified K-12 mathematics and science teachers by recruiting strong candidates from STEM majors and the existing STEM workforce. The program focuses on building a pipeline into teaching for people with solid science, technology, engineering, and mathematics backgrounds, and it ties that support to service in high-need school districts where recruiting and retaining qualified STEM teachers is often the hardest.
The opportunity is organized around three main project types. First, the Noyce Scholarship Track provides funding to colleges and universities to run scholarship and preparation programs for undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate students who already hold STEM degrees. These funds can be used for scholarships or stipends and for the academic and programmatic supports that help candidates earn a teaching credential. In exchange, scholarship recipients commit to teach mathematics or science in a high-need K-12 school district, aligning financial support with a clear workforce outcome. Second, the NSF Teaching Fellowship/Master Teaching Fellowship Track is aimed at STEM professionals who pursue a master’s degree program that leads to teacher certification. In this track, the program supports participants as NSF Teaching Fellows with relevant coursework, professional development, and salary supplements while they complete a four-year teaching commitment in a high-need district. This same track also supports NSF Master Teaching Fellows, meaning experienced, exemplary math and science teachers can receive professional development and salary supplements to grow into “Master Teacher” leadership roles within high-need districts, strengthening instructional capacity and mentorship where it is most needed. Third, the announcement includes Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) projects, which are meant to help institutions take a more strategic, integrated approach to leveraging NSF-funded awards, especially those within NSF’s Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR). For the fiscal year described in this notice, I3 proposals were being solicited across nine EHR programs, including Noyce, to promote coordinated institutional planning and creative integration of related NSF investments.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category, listed under CFDA 47.076 (Education and Human Resources). The total estimated funding in the notice is $54,000,000, with an expected 46 awards. Individual awards range from a floor of $75,000 to a ceiling of $3,250,000, and the opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement. Key dates in the archived FY 2010 competition included an optional letter of intent due February 9, 2010, a March 10, 2010 deadline for Noyce Scholarship and Teaching Fellowship/Master Teaching Fellowship proposals, and an April 7, 2010 deadline for Innovation through Institutional Integration proposals. The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 10-514 and was originally posted December 11, 2009; it is now archived.
Eligibility is centered on U.S.-based higher education capacity. Noyce proposals may be submitted by accredited U.S. two- or four-year colleges and universities (including community colleges), by consortia of such institutions, or by U.S. nonprofit entities that have established consortia among eligible institutions. I3 eligibility is limited primarily to accredited U.S. institutions of higher education, with an important exception: if an I3 proposal is exclusively for I3 STEM education or related research, then any proposer category allowed under the NSF Grant Proposal Guide may be eligible. The program also places role-based requirements on who leads proposals. For Noyce Scholarship proposals, the principal investigator (PI) or at least one co-PI must be a faculty member in a mathematics, science, or engineering department, reinforcing the expectation that STEM departments are actively involved in preparing future teachers. For I3 proposals, the PI generally must be the university provost or equivalent chief academic officer unless the proposal is exclusively for I3 STEM education or related research.
Overall, the Noyce program is best understood as both a financial support mechanism and a teacher workforce strategy. It helps institutions recruit STEM talent into teaching, provides structured preparation and professional development, and requires service in high-need districts so that federal investment translates into expanded and strengthened STEM teaching capacity in the schools that most need it. For full program details, the notice points applicants to NSF Publication 10-514, and it directs technical access questions to NSF’s grants.gov support (grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov).
