Funding Opportunity: Advancing Microelectronics Education
The National Science Foundation is accepting proposals to conduct education-related research and development to prepare a diverse microelectronics workforce beginning with the early preparation of K-12 students in and outside of school settings and extending through undergraduate, graduate and other levels of adult learning. This DCL encourages proposals that will inspire, study and support learners' interest and motivation to pursue education pathways and careers in microelectronics. Successful projects should engage students and learners in activities that will build knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) needed for the microelectronics workforce of the future.
Proposals are particularly encouraged in the following programs:
- Advanced Technological Education Program (ATE)
- Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL)
- Computer Science for All (CSforAll: Research and RPPs)
- Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12)
- Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) Program
- Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program (IUSE)
- Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST)
- NSF’s Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Initiative
- NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program
- Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (NOYCE)
