The National Science Foundation awarded Stanford University $599,447 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the project "BIORETS: Interspecies Interactions Research Experience (INSPIRE)." Over the period March 1, 2023 to February 28, 2026, Stanford will partner eight K-12 science teachers per year with University scientists to conduct authentic research on interspecies interactions like predator-prey relationships and disease transmission. Participating teachers will gain hands-on lab experience and professional development to enhance their science teaching practices and translate aspects of the research into classroom lessons. Stanford scientists will also visit classrooms to interact with students. The goals of the project are to improve student learning outcomes and engagement in science through teachers' enriched understanding of critical species interdependencies. Targeted outreach will recruit teachers from underserved districts to increase equitable access to enriching science opportunities.
