NSF Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) (Closing Date: June 19, 2006)

SYNOPSIS:

This program supports fellowships and associated training that will
enable graduate students and advanced undergraduates in the sciences,
technology, mathematics, and engineering to acquire additional skills to
broadly prepare them for professional and scientific careers in the
21st century.

OBJECTIVES:

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 including partnerships
with K-12 schools in a manner that is of mutual benefit to their
faculties and students.

Fellows, selected by awardee institutions, will work directly with GK-12
Teachers in and out of the classroom to, for example: connect K-12
learning to scientific methods needed for further study in STEM
disciplines; provide role models for future STEM professionals; enhance
GK-12 Teachers' content knowledge and understanding of principles of
mathematics and the sciences; and jointly design and deliver K-12
science and mathematics instruction.

ELIGIBILITY:

Academic institutions in the United States and its territories that
grant master's or doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines are invited to
submit proposals. In any one competition, an institution may submit only
one proposal, either as lead of a proposal from a single-institution or
as a lead institution of a multi-institutional proposal. The PI must be
a faculty member in an NSF-supported discipline and should serve as the
director of the GK-12 project.
GK-12 Fellows will be selected by awardee institutions, but must be:
citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States at the
time of application; and full time graduate students enrolled in STEM
programs.

FUNDING:

It is anticipated that approximately 25 total institutional awards will
be made. The size for New and Continuing projects will be for up to
$600,000 per year. New awards will be for up to five years.
Continuing projects will be for up to three years.

The stipend for a graduate student will be $30,000 for a twelve-month
tenure. NSF also provides a cost-of-education allowance for tuition,
health insurance, and normal fees of $10,500 per year per student (for
twelve months). If this allowance is not fully required, then it may be
used to support other GK-12 -related activities. All fellows will spend
fifteen hours per week directly involved in GK-12 projects. It is
recommended that fellows spend ten of the fifteen hours in a physical
location where learning takes place. The stipends for GK-12 teachers may
be up to fifteen percent of the funds allocated for a fellow's stipend
(i.e. 15% of $30,000 or $4,500 per year). The stipends for GK-12
teachers may support participation in summer educational institutes,
travel support for professional meetings, involvement in weekend and
evening workshops, and after-hours mentoring of fellows through the
project. CFDA #s: 47.041; 47.049;
