About this award
The American Association of Physics Teachers, Incorporated (AAPT) received a $332,694 grant award from a Civilian federal agency effective July 1, 2023, with a completion date of November 30, 2026. This research grant, issued without a set-aside designation, supports AAPT's efforts to advance heliophysics education through its established network of physics educators. The work will be performed at AAPT's location in Berwyn Heights, Maryland. This award aligns with AAPT's proven track record in developing physics and astronomy educational resources and professional development opportunities for K-12 and higher education institutions.
AAPT brings substantial prior experience to this engagement, having previously received approximately $99,632 in NASA funding to advance heliophysics education and develop related instructional materials. Beyond this current award, the organization has secured significant federal support through the National Science Foundation and NASA's Science Mission Directorate to establish professional learning programs, create two-year college physics initiatives, and integrate space science themes into undergraduate coursework. The nonprofit's mission to develop a skilled heliophysics workforce and inspire students to pursue careers in the field directly supports federal science education priorities and complements broader initiatives within the civilian space agency's educational portfolio.
