Opportunity Summary:
The STEM Grant 2013 opportunity was a competitive education grant program run through the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Education Outreach Program at Patuxent River, Maryland, under the Department of the Navy (NAVAIR). Its purpose was to strengthen and encourage innovation in STEM learning for students in grades 4 through 12, with a clear geographic focus on Southern Maryland. The program was set up specifically to support practical, hands-on STEM experiences that connect classroom learning to real-world applications, particularly those that could be reinforced through engagement with the Patuxent River Naval Air Station and related STEM enrichment activities.
Eligibility was limited and highly specific. Only schools and Boards of Education located in St. Marys, Charles, and Calvert Counties in Southern Maryland could apply, and they also needed to already have formal Education Partnership Agreements in place with NAVAIR at Patuxent River. In other words, this was not an open nationwide STEM grant; it targeted partner schools in a defined local region with an existing relationship to NAWCAD/NAVAIR.
Funding under the grant was available in three main categories. First, applicants could request support for transportation costs tied to STEM-focused field trips to the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, where the intent was to reinforce STEM curriculum through direct exposure to a relevant working environment. Second, the program allowed funding for teacher participation in STEM education programs or conferences, covering typical professional development expenses such as transportation, lodging, per diem, and registration fees. Third, the grant supported robotics teams or robotics club programs, with eligible costs including registration fees, a teacher stipend, travel, equipment, and supplies. Collectively, these categories show the program was designed to pay for concrete, implementation-level expenses rather than general operating costs, with an emphasis on experiential learning and teacher capacity-building.
Administratively, the opportunity was listed as a discretionary grant under the Education activity category. The funding opportunity number was NAWCAD 13 1 0001, and it was tied to CFDA 12.330 (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education, Outreach and Workforce Program). The total estimated funding amount was $100,000, with an award ceiling also listed as $100,000, and the agency expected to make about 10 awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a financial match to receive funding.
The timeline for the announcement was short and clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on November 27, 2012, with an application closing date of December 17, 2012, and it was archived on December 18, 2012. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Stoianka Encarnacion, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-737-2534.
