This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $199,528 to fund a collaborative research project titled "RET Site: Research Experiences for Teachers Across the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure." The project is hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Minnesota, and University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and aims to engage 12 in-service high school and community college faculty each year in hands-on nanoscale science and engineering (NSE) research at NNCI sites. Participants will complete NSE research projects and develop curriculum materials to bring their findings back to their classrooms. During the academic year, faculty and mentors will visit the teachers' classrooms to assist with implementation and further development of the curriculum modules. The objectives are to build a cohort of educators with broad NSE research experiences, develop a library of NSE educational materials, and encourage teacher presentations at professional conferences. No sub-awards are planned under this three-year award, which runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
