Opportunity Information: Apply for 2019 NIST SUMMER INSTITUTE 01
The NIST Summer Institute for Middle School Science Teachers (NIST Summer Institute) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is designed to strengthen middle school science education by giving selected teachers direct exposure to real-world science and engineering work at a major federal research laboratory. The program centers on an immersive experience at the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where participating teachers engage with NIST scientists and engineers through hands-on activities, lectures, tours, and site visits that connect classroom science concepts to practical measurement and research applications.
Applications are solicited from eligible U.S. organizations rather than from individual teachers. Eligible applicants include public-school districts (including independent school districts), accredited private educational institutions, county governments, city or township governments, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, as well as private institutions of higher education and other eligible entities as further clarified in the opportunity. These institutions are expected to nominate middle school science teachers who teach grades 6, 7, and/or 8, positioning the applying organization as the formal grant recipient and organizer for participation. In other words, the opportunity is structured so that school systems and accredited institutions put forward qualified teachers for selection into the summer institute experience.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NIST anticipates having substantial involvement in carrying out the program compared with a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 11.620. While the core purpose is teacher professional development, the content is rooted in science and engineering practices and the kinds of measurement, standards, and technology work NIST is known for, aiming to translate that exposure into stronger science instruction back in the classroom.
In terms of scale and funding parameters, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $4,000 and anticipates making approximately 22 awards. The funding opportunity number is 2019 NIST SUMMER INSTITUTE 01. The notice was created on March 28, 2019, with an original application closing date of May 10, 2019. Overall, the opportunity supports a cohort-style summer program where nominated middle school science teachers gain direct experience with federal research environments and return with ideas, activities, and context they can use to enrich science learning for students in grades 6 through 8.Apply for 2019 NIST SUMMER INSTITUTE 01
