Internal Competition Completed
Principal Investigators Selected:
- Tom Moher, Computer Science
Program Summary
This program provides funding to graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines to acquire additional skills that will broadly prepare them for professional and scientific careers in the 21st century.
The objectives of the GK-12 program are:- To support highly qualified graduate students in NSF-supported STEM disciplines through fellowships to provide them with an opportunity to acquire additional skills that will broadly prepare them for professional and scientific careers in the 21st century;
- To improve STEM instruction in K-12 schools; and
- To provide institutions of higher education with an opportunity to make a permanent change in their graduate programs by incorporating GK-12 like activities in the training of their STEM graduate students.
Note that there are many changes from the prior GK12 Program announcement.
Number of applications:
UIC can only submit 1 proposal. Institutions having an active or past GK-12 project are eligible to submit a new proposal, but they must coordinate evaluation efforts of any projects located on the same campus or working with the same school districts. They must also specify the outcomes, lessons learned, best practices, and sustainability efforts of prior projects. Renewal proposals will not be accepted.
