Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is soliciting applications from eligible U.S. public school districts or U.S. accredited private educational institutions nominating middle school science teachers, who have successfully completed the NIST Summer Institute for Middle School Science Teachers (NIST Summer Institute), to participate in the NIST Research Experience for Teachers program (NIST RET or Program). The NIST RET will allow the selected teachers to participate in scientific research with NIST scientists and engineers at the NIST Campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, that will encourage the teachers to inspire their students to pursue careers in fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The selected teachers will be required to attend the NIST RET during the summer of 2011 (exact dates to be decided by the teachers and scientists).
