The Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) grant application through the National Science Foundation has been released. Letters of intent to apply are due by 11 March 2011 and full proposals by 13 May 2011. Approximately twenty awards, ranging from $300,000 to $2.1 million, may be given to qualifying proposals.
"The ITEST program is interested in addressing such questions as: What does it take to effectively interest and prepare students to participate in the STEM workforce of the future? How do students acquire the knowledge, skills, and dispositions they need in order to participate productively in the changing STEM workforce? How can we assess and predict students' inclination to participate in the STEM fields, and how can we measure the impact of various models that encourage that participation?"
