The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded the University of Pennsylvania $600,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to operate the Feel the Force Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site. The project delivers immersive, hands-on summer research experiences in mechanobiology—the study of how physical forces influence biological processes—to middle and high school teachers from the Philadelphia school district and surrounding suburban and rural districts. Teachers conduct research at the interface of multiple STEM disciplines alongside mechanobiologists and STEM education researchers, then collaborate to design hands-on, standards-aligned lesson plans integrating engineering design practices, scientific inquiry, and interdisciplinary problem-solving for classroom use. The curriculum connects scientific concepts to real-world applications in health, medicine, and engineering. The program aims to increase student interest in STEM and equip teachers with researcher perspectives and classroom-tested materials that break down traditional academic silos. Performance occurs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
