The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded $599,997 to the Board of Regents of Nevada System of Higher Education, operating as University of Nevada, Reno, on October 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The award funds a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site supporting middle and high school science teachers in authentic, AI-powered research on sustainable energy sources and energy storage. Over three years, the project will engage 30 teachers—10 per year—through an intensive six-week summer research program followed by academic-year implementation and mentoring. Teachers will develop and translate research experience into classroom-ready curriculum and tools. The work addresses Nevada's regional education challenge, where the state ranks 50th nationally in education outcomes and students have limited exposure to STEM career pathways. Place of performance is Reno, Nevada, with performance through September 30, 2029.
