  • Idaho Science and Engineering Fair Student Project/Travel Grant

The STEM Action Center is proud to sponsor regional high school science and engineering fairs for the 2016-2017 school year. Winners of the regional fairs will be eligible to compete in the 2017 Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF). Intel ISEF is one of the premier national student science and engineering competitions. Idaho does not currently have a science and engineering fair that qualifies students for the national competition. As a result, Idaho students miss out on $4 million dollars in potential scholarships.

If selected, the educator will receive up to $2,000 to support participation in their regional fair. Educators will use these funds to purchase classroom materials for student projects and to cover travel costs for the educator and students to attend their regional fair. The amount awarded will be based on the number of student projects approved to participate in the fair. (See website for full details on this process.) Educators will receive $667/student project, up to a maximum of $2,000.

  • MJ Murdock Charitable Trust Due: 12-01

Providing high school teachers with opportunities to work at the cutting edge of science, and thus to revitalize their teaching and help them to appreciate the use of inquiry‐based methods in the teaching of science, is a primary goal of the Partners In Science awards. The program enables teachers and academic scientists to collaborate in the advancement of science, with the goal that both will grow professionally in the process. High school teachers develop an improved image of themselves as scientists as well as a sense of being an integral part of the scientific community. Teachers will gain experience presenting their research at a regional science conference in August and a national science conference in January after each summer of research. Faculty mentors benefit not only from research assistance, but from contact with those shaping their future students. All partners develop a broader understanding of the linkages between high school and college science education. District Teachers talk about how amazing this opportunity is!

  • NAVY Funding Grant due: 12-31

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) seeks proposals for developing innovative solutions that directly support the development and maintenance of a robust Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. The goal of any proposed effort should be to provide "game changing" solutions that will establish and maintain a diverse pipeline of U.S. citizens who are interested in uniformed or civilian Naval STEM related workforce opportunities. While this announcement is relevant for any stage of the STEM pipeline, for FY14, funding efforts will be targeted primarily towards High School, Undergraduate, and Graduate STEM education and outreach designed to enhance the Navy and Marine Corps STEM workforce and its mission readiness. Emphasis will be given both to key engineering and scientific areas outlined in the Naval S&T Strategic Plan such as our National Naval Responsibilities (see ONR website), and to identified STEM –related workforce gaps and new strategic goals on the uniformed and civilian side. Currently, we are especially interested in efforts related to 4 developing information technology/ computer science/ cyber security expertise, strengthening the engineering disciplines across all Naval activities, as well as improving our technician pipeline. While not a formal requirement or program focus of this FOA, applicants are strongly

encouraged to consider under-represented populations including women and minorities in program plans.
