The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) six hundred thousand dollars on October 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop and operate a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site focused on interdisciplinary water science and engineering. Virginia Tech will develop and deliver a six-week professional development program engaging grades 9–12, community college, and pre-service teachers in Southwest Virginia in interdisciplinary water research. The program involves ten interdisciplinary water research experts delivering hands-on learning experiences in water science and engineering, with the goal of helping teachers bring current water research into classrooms to address real-world challenges including water quality, flooding, drought, and sustainability. The RET Site will establish a community of teachers that fosters knowledge sharing, skill development, innovation, and professional support networking. By developing teacher understanding of how water experts from different disciplines work together, the program aims to inspire student interest in water-related STEM careers and create broader water literacy across the communities served. The award obligates six hundred thousand dollars and runs through September 30, 2029. Performance occurs in Blacksburg, Virginia.
