This NIST department is offering the Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Program grant. This grant is for science teachers in grades 6, 7, and/or 8 from eligible public school districts and accredited private educational institutions across the U.S. and its territories. To qualify, applicants must have successfully completed the NIST Summer Institute for Middle School Science Teachers Program. The RET Program provides a unique opportunity for selected teachers to engage directly in scientific research alongside NIST scientists and engineers. Participants will conduct hands-on research at the NIST Campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, enhancing their scientific understanding and bringing valuable real-world research experience back to their classrooms. This initiative aims to deepen middle school science education through direct engagement with cutting-edge research.
